Synopsis
The unconditional love between nineteen years-old Nick and sixteen years-old Evy has no voice or sound, as they are both deaf. When they sense that their parents oppose their relationship, they decide to flee and hide in the wreck of a submarine, where Evy will try to become pregnant. They are convinced that once they have a child together, nothing and nobody will be able to keep them apart. But in their cage of happiness, Evy discovers that Nick had another reason to disappear.

 

Sinossi
L’amore totale, assoluto, incondizionato tra il diciannovenne Nick e la sedicenne Evy non ha voci né suoni, perché entrambi sono sordomuti. Quando si rendono conto che i genitori di Evy si oppongono al loro rapporto, i due giovani scappano, e trovano rifugio nel relitto di un vecchio sottomarino. Decidono di avere un bambino, in modo che niente e nessuno possa mai separarli. Ma, chiusa nella loro gabbia di felicità, Evy scopre eventi del passato di Nick, grazie ai quali comprende che i motivi della fuga del suo compagno sono altri.
