Steam of life (2010)

 Steam of Life is an immensely touching documentary covering the whole emotional spectrum, filmed from a wide variety of Finnish saunas the (mostly naked) men cleanse themselves both physically and mentally towards a deeply emotional finale. The film travels through Finland, inviting men of all walks of life to share their touching stories about love, death, birth and friendship in an exceptionally intimate and poetic way.

“Berghall and Hotakainen's most remarkable accomplishment is their seeming invisibility: The men in Steam of Life talk so naturally and easily the viewer really feels like one hot fly on the wall as the stories roll out”
