In the darkness of a smoke sauna, women share their innermost secrets and intimate experiences, wash off the shame trapped in their bodies and regain their strength. The Estonian smoke sauna tradition known as “savvusanna kombõ” is listed as an UNESCO representative of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Winner of the best direction award in the World Cinema Documentary competition at the Sundance Film Festival.
