Tempo Dokumentärfestival and the Finnish Institute present a unique audio program consisting of gems from the Swedish and Finnish Short Dox Radio programs combined with sauna and bath. Bring swimwear and a towel and meet us in the institute’s fantastic sauna. Each sauna slot is 45 minutes long. There will be coffee and drinks for sale.
