About
Set in 1950s American suburbia, this episodic comedy follows a tight-knit Estonian diaspora community preparing to celebrate their local sauna's 100th gathering. As the men gather their beer, prepare traditional sprat sandwiches, and bundle together seven traditional sauna whisks (vihta), their relaxation is short-lived. While they are distracted singing inside the sauna, a group of women pull a chaotic prank by stealing all of their clothes and refreshments. Wrapped only in towels, the disoriented men rush back home, only to discover a massive surprise variety show underway, complete with folk dancing, live musicians, and their missing party food.
