Simon Birch

Synopsis

Simon Birch and Joe Wenteworth are two boys seen by their small town as little eccentricities. Joe has never known his father, and his mother Rebecca refuses to tell him the truth no matter how insistent he becomes. Eleven-year-old Simon, a dwarf with a giant personality, relentlessly fires probing theological questions at the local minister and soon teams up with Joe to track down Joe’s biological father.
