Intimate and emotional, Anna Hints’ debut documentary invites the viewer into the space of the Estonian smoke sauna, whose traditions are included in the UNESCO cultural heritage list. In the darkness of the sauna, women share their innermost secrets and intimate experiences, washing off the shame trapped in their bodies and regaining strength through a sense of communion.
“A small, smoky, steamy miracle... creates something so intangible, so lyrical, from the absolutely elemental: fire, wood, water and lots of naked female flesh”
