It is the first Estonian documentary to win an EFA award.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">The film is the successful debut of director <strong>Anna Hints<\/strong>. It tells the story of women who share the joys and sorrows of their lives in a traditional smoke sauna in South V\u00f5rumaa. The documentary is an intimate description of women who have experienced subjugation, violence, and body dysmorphia. In a dark sauna, they can open up about the most difficult and personal things, but also wash them clean and rediscover their own strength.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">The director did not give a traditional speech on stage, but sang together with the audience. &#8220;I didn&#8217;t do this alone, because you don&#8217;t make movies alone. That&#8217;s why we all sing together&#8221;, said Anna Hints, while visibly happy on stage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">The documentary has already won 12 domestic and international awards . Smoke Sauna Sisterhood will also represent Estonia at this year&#8217;s Oscar\u2019s in the category of best international documentary film.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"SAVVUSANNA S\u00d5SARAD - treiler.
