Sauna

Sauna

Set around a Copenhagen bathhouse where nightly encounters blur fantasy and reality, Sauna follows Johan, a young cis man exploring his blossoming sexuality within a world of casual gay hookups. When he meets William, a trans man navigating Denmark's labyrinthine medical system in pursuit of hormones, he begins to confront his own fears, prejudices and sense of self. A breakout international success at Sundance, Mathias Broe's timely debut is an inviting, intimate film that daringly imagines queer love beyond fetishization and lays bare the discrimination trans men still face - even within gay spaces.
