"Naakt" or "Naked" or "Erik goes to a Sauna" is a Dutch 7.5-minute short film from 10 years ago and it is about a boy who goes to a sauna with his mother. Initially he is skeptical about all the naked people there, but soon he sees something, or I should say "someone", whom he perceives in a totally different light and thus enjoys the sauna experience and says he would go there again. Pay attention to the frame this film has in terms of seesawing at the beginning and at the end. He is an innocent boy early on, but has desires like a man at the end and his seesawing partner changes accordingly. However, that is really the only interesting aspect about this little film. I found the watch not particularly interesting. Good thing is that the dialogs are so rare that you don't even need subtitles to understand this film, even if you are not able to understand Dutch. Overall, not a failure, but also not good enough to let me recommend the watch. Thumbs down.
