Movie: Birch

  • HomePage

  • Overview

    The director's first film begins in a Russian suana where very buff naked cadets fan birch branches on each other to stimulate their circulation (and ours as well). The story is of a seduction of a Russian Soldier that may or may not go well - but it certainly points the way for Steve Kokker's later film Komrades.
