A lonely house by the sea. In the garden, the father starts to dig a hole. He asks his daughter to help. A silent life-and-death struggle begins, full of foreshadowing and dark premonitions. The spot-on sound design and the grimy, earth-toned aesthetics of the horror films of the '70s create an inescapable undertow that sucks the characters deeper and deeper downwards into this nightmarish world.
