Smoke Sauna Sisterhood
The South Estonian smoke sauna tradition was recognised by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage. The ritual cleanses soul and body and should strengthen family ties and friendships. Deep in the forests, women gather there to share universal stories.
The film won the award for best director in the world documentary category at the Sundance Film Festival.
