En: The spring sun shone over the vast vidda in Finnmark, where the snow was slowly melting away.
No: Den lille samiske landsbyen var i ferd med å våkne til liv, og det var tid for den årlige påskefestivalen.
En: The small Sami village was starting to come to life, and it was time for the annual Easter festival.
No: Dette var ikke hvilken som helst festival; det var en feiring av livet, av våren, og, kanskje viktigst av alt, av reinen.
En: This was not just any festival; it was a celebration of life, of spring, and perhaps most importantly, of the reindeer.
No: Lars, en ung og ivrig reingjeter, sto ved reingjerdet og kikket utover den store flokken.
En: Lars, a young and eager reindeer herder, stood by the reindeer fence and looked out over the large herd.
No: Dette året ønsket han å vise sitt folk, og særlig sin mor Ingrid, at han var klar til å ta et større ansvar.

No: Hun var fascinert av hvordan reinen formet den samiske livsstilen.
En: She was fascinated by how the reindeer shaped the Sami lifestyle.
No: Alt virket klart for festivalen, men da solen sto høyest på himmelen, inntraff det uventede.
En: Everything seemed ready for the festival, but when the sun was highest in the sky, the unexpected happened.
No: En kaotisk bevegelse i flokken forstyrret freden.
En: A chaotic movement in the herd disturbed the peace.
No: Reinen, som vanligvis flokket seg samlet, begynte å spre seg i alle retninger.
