Viddas testamente
When John-Andreas’ father dies of cancer in the winter of 1993 he is forced to make a decision concerning his future: Shall he follow the Sami tradition and become a reindeer herder, only 17 years old, or shall he accept half a million NOK from the authorities and abandon his herding licence for ever? The situation in the Finnmark tundra is critical - the number of reindeer is too high, and the pastures are to small. His mother and younger brothers and sisters depend on his decision.
