Synopsis:

***Attention - This DVD does not show English subtitles on certain types of DVD players***

It is 1595. Brutal wars have just ended in an uneasy peace between Protestant Sweden and Orthodox Russia. Finland has been trampled over and buried. In particular, we focus on the spiritual defeats of two conquered Finnish brothers, one a hardened near-psychopathic war hero, the other a gentle scientist in an age with no use for such men. They find themselves in the swampy interior, demarcating the new border with a unit of sadistic Russians.

A cruel horror film bathing in the Finnish sauna culture, in the no-zone between Christianity and paganism. Year 1595. The long war is finally over. Brothers Knut and Erik, members of a commission marking the border between Finland and Russia, commit a terrible sin when they leave a young girl to die a horrible death. As the commission crosses an uncharted swamp, the girl returns to haunt them, her face pouring endless filth. The weary men find solace in a nameless village and find a sauna-a sauna where all sins are washed away. Seeking forgiveness, the brothers step in... Sauna is a horror film about sins and repentance. The story leads us into the core of darkness where there is no hope, no salvation.
