Smoke Sauna Sisterhood (Savvusanna sõsarad) (2023)

Estonian women Kadi Kivilo, Maria Meresaar, Elsa Saks, Marianne Liiv, Eva Kübar, Liis Kuresoo, Eda Veeroja, Maria Aasa, Merit Kask, Leno Kuura, and Sandra Lepik appear fully nude throughout the 2023 award-winning Estonian documentary Smoke Sauna Sisterhood (original title: Savvusanna sõsarad), directed by Anna Hints. This scenes from intimate, feminist documentary follows a group of Võro women in southern Estonia as they gather in a traditional smoke sauna — a UNESCO-listed cultural practice. In the steamy darkness, they sweat, sing, share traumas, joys, body stories, and secrets while completely naked. The film emphasizes body positivity, sisterhood, healing, and the non-sexual power of communal nudity (sauna sessions + icy lake plunges in snow). It is not erotic or scripted — all nudity is naturalist, documentary-style, and empowering.
