50.
Big open fires illuminate drummers corralled at the centre. In the background, spooky shadows are dancing to the drum's rhythm. Reindeer stampede around the drummers. Nearby, bloody men butcher animals. 67 67 STAGE AREA A bright spotlight reveals the King of Lapland; the star of the local yodeling scene. Dancing shadows are lit and the crowd goes wild as they are transformed into-- Long-legged Chinese go-go girls in short-cut Sami national dresses. This is a pagan Arctic rave party. Boys and girls dance in fur shorts and bikinis, despite the low temperatures. When the kids laugh or talk, big puffs of white condensed air puff out of their mouths. 68 68 FIRE AREA Everything here contradicts the polished official party. Reindeer meat is served from giant pots on open fires. Drugs in all imaginable forms are are served by well-dressed English-style butlers. Matti and Juha are dressed in ritzy gold-covered, LED light decorated Sami national costumes. They look like gangster rappers. 69 69 SNOW-COVERED DANCE FLOOR Elle watches as girls step up to take selfies with the brothers. She blends in with them. Elle dances to Juha in the stroboscopic light. Drops her designer white silk shawl in front of him. Juha bows down and picks it up. Inhales her fragrance. He rises slowly sniffing her feet, knees and private parts. Girls giggle with envy, clapping their hands.
