THERMAE ROMAE trailer, 2012.
This is a movie based on a Japanese manga/anime series about an imperial Roman architect charged with designing a new bath house for Rome. Stuck for inspiration, he stumbles across an underwater passage leading to present-day Japan - where he finds solutions in the form of modern Japanese bathing culture.
It's, uh, an interesting concept, especially since we often only think of Turkish baths as a modern parallel to the Roman versions...
