Events/plot: The boy can hear his dead father but can't see him and see his dead mother but can't hear her. He tells this to his sisters in the beginning but they don't believe him. He had an aunt that I think was going to take him away from his home that he didn't want to leave. Theres a scene I remember where the boy was sad and asked his dad why he couldn't hear his mom or see him. There was also a scene where he tried to take his father's old job. That's all I can remember.
