Raste is a Pathfinder, a strange mystical, wily man who see something special in the eyes of young Aigin. Staying behind with him are three archers and the shaman, Raste ( Nils Utsi). Packing the women and children up, they all decide to travel to the mountainous coastline where a larger tribe of their people reside.īrave Aigin elects to stay behind at the camp and challenge the crusading thugs when they arrive. A group of hunters and gatherers, certainly not battle ready men. Managing to lose the psychotic small army, Aigin arrives barely alive at the foot of the main camp of Sami people. Aigin returns to witness the barbaric massacre of his family and through pure terror he finds himself caught up in a death hunt across the ice and snow. Ruthless travelers with a hunger for death and carnage. Unfortunately this small family is about to have visitor’s, a savage group of nomadic thugs, terrorising, murdering and pillaging. A father, mother, young daughter and a coming of age son, called Aigin ( Mikkel Gaup).

One family had broken off from the main group and set up home further down the coast. With the help of their Pathfinder, a spiritual shaman, they plan their days to a beat of a small drum and mystical symbols. A peaceful people, keeping in small family groups, utilising the resources of furs, hunting and coastal fishing. Pathfinder is a tale about the Sami people, a traditional reindeer herding community living in the harsh regions of the north.

In this Norwegian, freeze your goolies off, action adventure film from director and writer Nils Gaup, we get to witness a survival tale set in the bleak frozen lands and fjords of Northern Norway, some time around 1000 AD.
