Story

The love between 16 year-old Evy and Nick, three years older, has no voice and no sound: they are both deaf. Evy’s upbringing has been sheltered, she attends secondary school, but feels like an outsider. Nick is a non-conformist, a rebel and a thorn in the side of Evy’s father. As the tension becomes unbearable, the young couple run away, seeking refuge in the wreck of an old submarine. They want to start a family – then Evy discovers that her boyfriend has another reason for needing to disappear.

Director

With his very first short Sand (2008), Joost van Ginkel (*1971) won a total of 13 international awards. His second, Kiss (2009) was also well received. 170 Hz is the Dutchman’s first full-length feature.
