“a masterpiece” - Cinema Femme

“the small, smoky, steamy miracle of this film is how it creates something so intangible, so lyrical, from the absolutely elemental: fire, wood, water and lots of naked female flesh” - Variety

An exploration of oral histories, storytelling and female communities within the tradition of Estonian smoke saunas, The Guardian described as “a film that weaves a spell”.
