ANNA HINTS | ESTONIA | 2023 | tbc’

This Sundance-winning documentary celebrates female solidarity and community through a group of Estonian women who continue an age-old tradition of sauna-based rituals carried out by the Voro community. Anna Hints’ captivating film places us at the heart of this world. As the women unwind and talk, there is humour borne of their familiarity with each other and of shared experiences, but there are also tales of pain and suffering. In the darkness of a smoke sauna, women share their innermost secrets and intimate experiences, washing off the shame trapped in their bodies and regaining their strength through a sense of communion.
