The Hum is a sound some people wait for while others tan. Everyone longs for love. After signing up for a snorkelling course, Kim and Sabine realise they have come to the wrong beach.

– Fucking hell, says Sabine. – What now then, says Kim.

“It isn't the form or the visuals that breaks with the normal – on the contrary. It seems extremely important that everything looks real and natural. But through the dialogues and the small incidents that unfold, insanity seeps through. And without it ever being mentioned, a strong sense of doom wrapped up in everyday life takes hold.”
