A powerful meeting between two women brings their inner forces and desires to the surface. Can they overcome their traumas? Skádja is an exploration of nature, spirituality, passion and movement. An indigenous lesbian story from Sápmi about reclaiming one’s inner witch.

Katja (27) lives in Berlin and dreams every night of her own death, and her waking hours are a constant stream of work, digital distraction and a paranoia about the future - her inner life moving at a speed that seems unsustainable. While on vacation in northern Norway, she has an extreme encounter with raw nature and gets a new perspective on herself - she returns to Berlin with the intentions of changing her life. But the demon inside her is hard to shake off.
