The Town Where Everyone Owns a Sauna
2020 · 4 min · English
In Finnish Lapland, homes are built around saunas rather than the other way round, and the film visits a region where a hot, dark cedar room is considered a basic household fixture. It is a short case study in how a climate shapes a culture's idea of comfort.
