"My family portrait" is a personal documentary about the director's attempt to gather her family for a last family photo. - When my grandmother was 26, she had an experience that left deep emotional scars. Finnmark was set on fire. Together with her husband and their three little children they had to flee their home - or face death. For three weeks they were on the run, hiding in a small fishing boat. Taking care of the family was always an important part of my grandmother's life, but today the family has fallen out of touch with each other. This film is about my attempt to gather the family once more to take one last family portrait - and to find out why things turned out the way they did. Along the way I find out things I did not know at all about the family and about myself. My family is sami, and no one ever told me that. Because it was to o shameful to be a Sami.
