Who said that Finnish men cannot talk?

Whoever said that has not seen the documentary film Miesten vuoro by Joonas Berghäll and Mika Hotakainen.
It is a film about Finnish saunas and Finnish men in saunas - a spellbinding experience to see them talk, laugh, cry, suffer, sing, love and miss their beloved ones. It is not only the heat of sauna that brings the emotions to the surface, it is also the ears and eyes of fellow men sitting next to them, sweating, listening and understanding.
Here you see that the sauna at it´s best is a place to become both externally and internally clean – a perfect way of Finnish psychotherapy.
