In a hut deep in the snow-covered forest, women meet up to take a sauna together. Taboos fall with the covers. Gentle voices whisper unspoken fears and painful realizations into the protective darkness of the steam-filled sauna. Caught by the quiet listening of their companions, the women tell of their first loves, but also of sexual assaults and unbearable birth pains.
Filmmaker Anna Hints accompanies this transformative ritual in her documentary. Almost mystical in its intimacy, the film shows women not as they are, but as they are becoming, and tells of the changes that take place in a woman's life and body. Thanks to its deep empathy and humanity, the film offers an unembellished yet always extremely focused look inside the smoke saunas. (Hints, EE FR IS 2023 - FSK 12 - OmdU)
