Opera singer Nora travels to a Finnish island to bury her husband, but the local pastor, Natalia, greets her reluctantly. Amid the island’s magical landscape, a bond of guilt and grief grows between the two women. In the latest work by renowned Finnish documentarian Honkasalo – her first film after a ten-year creative hiatus – the story of loss is intertwined with the North American Indigenous myth of “orenda,” the invisible force that dwells within all living things.
