SAUNA DAY World Premiere at Cannes!
Men take a seat in the sauna
The new short film Sauna Day (directed by Anna Hints and Tushar Prakash) will premiere as the first Estonian film in the special programme of La Semaine de la Critique at Cannes Film Festival.
The short film takes you to the world of Southern Estonian men, who go to the dark-intimate space of a smoke sauna after a hard day's work. Beneath their tough exteriors lies a desire for connection, veiled in secrecy.
Screening: Sunday (19.05) / 20:00 / Miramar
