Woman's Day

Czech Films 2018–2019 2019 / Den žen / Czech Republic 2018

In the space of just five minutes, Evgeny Terpugov creates an introspective study of womanhood and the process of rediscovering oneself. The poetically animated movie takes place in a sauna – or, more specifically, a typical Russian banya. A woman tortured by a relationship and perhaps even by her own life is prepared to leave both behind. The banya becomes a place of salvation, contemplation, physical and spiritual regeneration, and, eventually, liberation.

Synopsis

In the space of just five minutes, Evgeny Terpugov manages to create an introspective contemplation of womanhood and the process of rediscovering oneself. This poetically animated movie takes place in a sauna – or, more specifically, in a typical Russian banya. A woman tortured by a relationship and perhaps even by her own life is prepared to leave both behind. The banya becomes a place of salvation, contemplation, physical and spiritual regeneration, and, eventually, liberation.
