Behold the Many is the eerily beautiful story of three young sisters, Anah, Aki, and Leah. In 1913, they are sent away from their family for treatment for tuberculosis to an orphanage in Hawaii's Kalihi Valley. Of the three, two will die there, in spite of the nuns' best efforts to save them, and only Anah, the eldest, will grow to adulthood. But, the ghosts of the dead children are afraid to leave the grounds of St. Joseph's, which is the only place...

A young mute boy and his parents learn the language of love.
