Henry’s sudden disappearance from Verlin’s world drives him deeper into himself.

User review:

The story of Henry and Verlin is one that is filled with emotion. Keegan MacIntosh’s performance as Verlin, a young boy who does not speak and is emotionally disturbed, is brilliant as well as the rest of the cast. Certainly a movie worth seeing.
