170 Hz

Synopsis: The Story: 170 Hz is a film about unconditional love and the freedom that goes with it. Nick and Evy are two adolescents who fall hopelessly in love with each other. Their love has no voice or sound as they are both deafmute. They have their own ways of communicating with each other, so while being in love already makes them stand apart from the rest of the world, in the splendid isolation of their soundless love they distance themselves from their surroundings even more. When they sense that their parents do not fully agree with them being together, they develop an audacious plan: they will flee and hide in a special place, where Evy will become pregnant and have a baby - they are convinced that once they have a child together nothing and nobody will be able to keep them apart. Nick takes the initiative and drives off with Evy to the hiding place he has meticulously prepared, the wreck of a former Soviet submarine in a distant part of the harbour.

Will I see you again soon?

Of course.

Did you see your father's new car?

Let's go away.

What do you mean?

The two of us, together.

And go where?

To the moon.

We'll just take off.

You and me.

Will you come and watch?

Maybe.

Change the cylinder head gasket.

New cylinder head gasket.

Where were you last night?

Out, and where were you?

We were at home.

Sounds like fun, just the two of you.

Where were you last night?

You've never asked

me this before.

- I did just now and

I'm asking you again.

I was with a boy.

What boy?

You saw him.

What's his name?

Was I not allowed to?

Then you should tell me.

You father didn't say that.

His name is Nick.

Bring him over sometime.

It's the deaf guy.

Hey you, deaf guy!

I think he can hear us all right.

Hey...

give me the ball back.

Can't you hear me or what?

Did you hear that?

And that?

Can you hear this?

He really doesn't hear me.

Hey, now you can't talk either?

I've heard you talk.

You moron.

I guess...

I'll have to get it myself then.

Ball!

You f***ing moron!

An original?

Why don't you get a hearing implant...

just like Evy is getting?

I'm not getting one and you know it!

I don't need to hear anything.

I haven't met anyone who seems

to have anything interesting to say...

apart from Evy.

Do you like it?

Do you?

It's very good.

What does your father do?

I'm not there...

so he's probably wanking off

by himself.

I don't want to see him here again!

Then I'll go to him!

You're not going anywhere!

I'll decide that.

I'd rather be with him than with you.

I'm sorry.

Where do I think I'm going?

Go on, ask me!

Again?

Are you sure?

There's only one way

to be united forever.

And we won't return...

until I've been carrying it

for five months.

All right.

Are you sure?

Yes.

So?

In two weeks' time.

Why are we leaving earlier?

Because of my Dad?

What happened?

What is it?

You've got such nice hands.

You've told me before.

I love you.

You've told me that too.

Do you love me too?

Can I get a kiss?

You have such a strange expression

sometimes.

Captain Nick.

Why did we leave earlier?

Because of my Dad?

I've made something special for you.

What is it?

What?

Our swimming pool

Don't.

You Okay?

What are you writing?

About us.

What exactly?

That's a secret, obviously.

Or would you rather be alone?

Wouldn't you rather be alone?!

Would you miss me...

if you weren't with me now?

I came looking for you

because I missed you.

Would you miss me

if you weren't with me here...

but at home or wherever?

I'm here, aren't I?

But what if you weren't...

would you miss me then?

Of course I would.

What have you done?

Nothing.

Did you send a text message?

Yes.

To your mother?

Yes!

Saying what?

- Saying you're a prick.

Did you tell her where we are?

You bastard!

I'm sorry.

You still haven't told me

why we left earlier than planned.

Will you stay with me forever?

Of course.

I really mean forever.

Don't ever hit me again.

Last word?

"Death. "

What are you reading?

"The only purpose of life is... "

"... having enough time

to prepare for death. "

You've read this book

before, haven't you?

What's the most beautiful thing

you've ever seen?

Shall I tell you what I once heard?

What do you mean, "heard"?

There was one time I heard something,

it was eight years ago.

The doctor didn't believe me.

But I'm sure of it.

Wonderful...

fresh...

like...

lemon ice cream.

If I could choose my voice,

it would sound like that.

And then I would also...

sing...

and whisper.

But above all I'd scream.

What about you?

What's the most beautiful thing

you've ever seen?

Or heard?

The most beautiful thing

I've ever seen...

was you, yesterday.

Why did you change my diary?

What if we have a child?

And why did you write

"I hate my mother"?

Would you love the child more

than you love me?

Crazy'

Congratulations, Daddy.

I've never kissed a girl.

Me neither.

I feel something.

It's my heart.

Do you want something to drink?

Don't!

Shall we dance?

Come on, let's dance.

Where have you been?

You'll be a better mother

than I'd be a father.

No, you.

You.

No, you'll be better.

You're confused

because of the pregnancy.

No, you...

you're crazy.

I'm glad we'll be going back soon.

I'm not going back.

I can't go back.

But I thought we'd be going back

the three of us.

I can't go back.

Why not?

You don't understand.

What have you done?

Were you going to leave?

I was going for a swim.

Isn't it a little cold?

Did you ask the captain?

You can.

Go on.

I'll protect you.

Are you scared of me?

This is the first time

you're lying to me.

Go on then!

You won't leave me alone?

You won't leave me alone?

Is it cold.
