Eatnanvuloš lottit / Birds in the Earth is a short film based on dance and experimental storytelling. Two Sámi sisters, Birit and Katja Haarla, dance through the villages and lost woods of Sámi land all the way to the south, to Helsinki, where the

important decisions are made. The accent is on the ownership of Sámi land and the Sámi people´s rights in today's

Finland, the Sámi being the indigenous people of Fennoscandia. The polarity of Nature and the Western way of life is filtered through humor.
