Summary:
"Originally an Eastern European tradition, this secret world still manages to exist as a spirited answer to today's world of high tech spas and suburban hot tubs. As the bathers take a break from the grind of daily urban
life
to wash away their worries, they find conversation, rejuvenation, and unlikely friendships in the baths. THE SHVITZ points to the evolution of modern urban
life
, presenting a lively co-ed bathing experience that bears more than a passing resemblance to a night at the singles bar."--docurama.com (as viewed on 7/21/2008)
