Story Transcript:

Da: Sommersolen svæver lavt på himlen over den lille Sami-landsby i Sápmi.
En: The summer sun hovers low in the sky over the small Sami-village in Sápmi.

Da: Grønt græs vugger blødt i vinden, og duften af vilde blomster fylder luften.
En: Green grass sways gently in the wind, and the scent of wildflowers fills the air.

Da: Astrid står der lidt nervøs, men ivrig.
En: Astrid stands there a bit nervous, yet eager.

Da: Det er hendes første besøg i hendes bedstemors hjemland, langt fra den travle by, hun er vokset op i.
En: It's her first visit to her grandmother's homeland, far from the bustling city she grew up in.

Da: Astrid er kommet for at lære om sin Sami-arv.
En: Astrid has come to learn about her Sami heritage.

Da: Hun vil bøje sig over rengdyr og høre historier fra de ældres stof.
En: She wants to bend over reindeer and hear stories from the elders' fabric.

Da: Men noget andet sætter sig i hendes tanke — hendes fætter, Magnus.
En: But something else occupies her thoughts — her cousin, Magnus.

Da: Han virker ikke glad for hendes tilstedeværelse.
En: He doesn't seem pleased with her presence.

Da: Magnus er en stolt Sami, godt kendt med traditionerne.
En: Magnus is a proud Sami, well acquainted with the traditions.

Da: Han har altid boet her og set turister komme og gå.
En: He has always lived here and seen tourists come and go.

Da: "Hvorfor er Astrid her egentlig?" tænker han.
En: "Why is Astrid really here?" he wonders.

Da: "Er hun for at se på os, som om vi er i en zoo?"
En: "Is she here to look at us as if we are in a zoo?"

Da: Men han lægger sine tanker til side, da forberedelserne til midsommerfesten kræver hans opmærksomhed.
En: But he puts his thoughts aside as the preparations for the midsummer celebration demand his attention.

Da: Husene i landsbyen er pyntet med farverige bånd og blomsterkranse.
En: The houses in the village are decorated with colorful ribbons and flower wreaths.

Da: Musikkens rytme strømmer fra trommer.
En: The rhythm of music flows from drums.

Da: Astrid beslutter, at hun vil forsøge at være en del af det hele.
En: Astrid decides she will try to be a part of it all.

Da: Hun vil vise Magnus og sig selv, at hun ikke bare er en nysgerrig storbypige.
En: She wants to show Magnus and herself that she is not just a curious city girl.

Da: Hun går mod en gruppe kvinder, der forbereder traditionelle retter, og tilbyder sin hjælp.
En: She approaches a group of women preparing traditional dishes and offers her help.

Da: Hun lytter, observerer og spørger, når hun er i tvivl.
En: She listens, observes, and asks when in doubt.

Da: Langsomt åbner de sig for hende, og Astrid begynder at føle sig lidt mindre som en outsider.
En: Slowly, they open up to her, and Astrid begins to feel a little less like an outsider.

Da: Så kommer midsommeraftenen.
En: Then comes midsummer evening.

Da: Under den klare nattehimmel bliver bålene tændt, og folk samles omkring dem.
En: Under the clear night sky, the bonfires are lit, and people gather around them.

Da: En ældre kvinde kalder på Astrid.
En: An older woman calls out to Astrid.

Da: Hun skal deltage i 'leavttog', en traditionel midsommervise, som kun gives til dem, der virkelig forstås som en del af fællesskabet.
En: She is to participate in 'leavttog', a traditional midsummer song, which is only given to those truly understood as part of the community.

Da: Astrid bliver rørt.
En: Astrid is touched.

Da: Hun synger med så godt, hun kan, hendes stemme flyver ud i sommernatten.
En: She sings along as best as she can, her voice drifting into the summer night.

Da: Magnus står i periferien og betragter hende.
En: Magnus stands on the periphery, watching her.

Da: Han ser ikke længere en fremmed, men en slægtning, der prøver at genoprette bånd til sine rødder.
En: He no longer sees a stranger, but a relative trying to reconnect with her roots.

Da: Efter ceremonien nærmer Magnus sig Astrid.
En: After the ceremony, Magnus approaches Astrid.

Da: "Du klarer det godt," siger han.
En: "You're doing well," he says.

Da: Han har stadig en lille skepsis i hjertet, men han ser også hendes ægte ønske.
En: He still has a little skepticism in his heart, but he also sees her genuine desire.

Da: De taler længe ved bålet.
En: They talk for a long time by the fire.

Da: Astrid deler, hvordan det er at leve væk fra rødderne.
En: Astrid shares what it's like to live away from the roots.

Da: Magnus taler om sin bekymring for deres kulturs fremtid.
En: Magnus talks about his concerns for their culture's future.

Da: Deres samtale er begyndelsen på noget ægte.
En: Their conversation is the beginning of something genuine.

Da: Morgenen efter, da solen stadig hænger omkring horisonten, indser Astrid, at hun nu forstår mere om sig selv og sin familie.
En: The next morning, as the sun still hangs around the horizon, Astrid realizes she now understands more about herself and her family.

Da: Magnus nikker til hende, en stille anerkendelse af det bånd de nu deler.
En: Magnus nods to her, a quiet acknowledgment of the bond they now share.

Da: De er begge forandrede, og deres forbindelse er stærkere end nogen sinde.
En: They are both changed, and their connection is stronger than ever.

Da: Sammen ser de ud over landskabets endeløse vidder.
En: Together, they gaze out over the landscape's endless expanses.

Da: Sommerens gave har været mere end lys; den har skabt et varigt bånd mellem to mennesker, hvis liv er vævet ind i hinandens historie.
