Women Heating The Sauna

On a snowy winter day Anu Soldam comes from town to the summerhouse belonging to the company she works for in order to clean up the place and heat the sauna for bosses and foreign guests. Instead of having a few days winter holiday, Anu will face the biggest challenge of her life. The farmhouse in the neighbourhood was once the home for a happy family - Anu, her husband Tõnis and their little daughter. Now that Anu and Tõnis are divorced, they will meet again at the funeral of Aita, the old woman who had lived in the same farmhouse. Here, Anu finds out the reason why her marriage fell apart. She must pull herself together and stay calm about her past while the frolic crowd in the sauna won't care much for her emotional condition.
