“But Daddy, who will live with me in heaven?”

Doctor Simon Bailey’s previously perfect life is shattered when his seven year old daughter is given months to live.

While he can almost come to terms with her impending death, and feeling he may one day deal with never being able to see her again, he cannot stand the idea of his child facing death alone.

He answers the question in a moment of desperation, testing his marriage, his professional judgment and his sanity to the limit.

He offers to go with her.

As cracks form in the foundations of a family that once appeared unbreakable, we wonder – as do his loved ones – will he really make the ultimate sacrifice?

Combining poignant moments of both humor and pain, and never maudlin despite its subject matter, ‘Simon’s Choice’ is a penetrating, and surprisingly heart-warming, account of parenthood as we would never wish to live it.
