synopsis

The city boy Niilas (Daan Roofthooft) is sent, against his will, to stay with his mother in Swedish Lapland. The only one who manages to engage with him is his new sister Sunnà (Ayla Gáren Audhild P. Nutti). She takes him on a journey into the magical world of the woods where shy Niilas turns into a wild Cloudboy.
De 12-jarige stadsjongen Niilas woont zolang hij zich kan herinneren bij zijn papa. Zijn Zweedse mama Katarina kent hij nauwelijks. Vader en zoon zijn al jaren op elkaar aangewezen en hebben een hechte band. Deze zomervakantie moet de verlegen Niilas – zeer tegen zijn zin – afreizen naar Lapland waar zijn moeder en haar nieuwe gezin bij de Sami, tussen de rendieren, wonen. De rendiertrek is volop aan de gang en ook Niilas moet een handje toesteken. Maar wat moet hij daar?
Ondanks de warme ontvangst, reageert Niilas zeer terughoudend. De enige die langzaamaan tot hem doordringt, is zijn nieuwe zus Sunnà. Wanneer een rendier vermist wordt, onderneemt hij een spannende zoektocht waarbij een indrukwekkende eland op de meest onverwachte momenten zijn pad kruist. Stilaan ontdekt hij zijn roots, die sterker blijken dan hij ooit had kunnen vermoeden. Tegen alle verwachtingen in beleeft Niilas de meest avontuurlijke zomer van zijn leven.
