The everyday, democratic pleasures of the sauna get their dues in this short film stripped of everything superfluous. There is a tangible warmth recorded on the 16 millimetre film used by director Jari Nordström and cinematographer Kalle Pajamaa, even before the water thrower reaches the sauna benches. As singer Tapio Rautavaara calls on the film’s soundtrack: “More water on the stones!”
