an incredibly intimate sensory experience. a level of immersion that allows you to listen to these stories as if they are being told by the person sitting right next to you.

Some of the conversations from sauna stay with you long after you have watched this film.

A tighter edit, narration, and resolution would help this engaging but discouraging film.

A great journey to the traditions, culture and partially historical elements of the country.

A film structured around the Smoke Sauna experience. Intimate, honest, raw and personal, even if you are not a part of the sisterhood, you can find yourself in the stories and the catharsis that is delivered in the ending. A confidently local south Estonian film, with the power to resonate globally.
