In her visually arresting feature documentary debut, Anna Hints makes Estonia's centuries-old smoke sauna tradition, recognized as a UNESCO representative of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, a little more tangible and a little more human by providing stunningly intimate access to the private and safe spaces of women. The bathers can release old feelings of frustration and shame through the ritual of cleansing and connection in the womb-like steam rooms and cold pools of the forest, allowing for poetically frank reflections on womanhood.
