Simon Says
Drama Series
12 x 45’
Susan has dedicated her life to raising her nephew Simon, after a tragic car accident claimed his mother and twin brother and left him abandoned by his father. But the trauma left deep scars: Simon copes by inhabiting the personalities of his lost family members, a secret only Susan knows. Out of guilt and love, she has kept him out of psychiatric care—fearing her choices may have only deepened his condition.
​
Now, with her own terminal cancer diagnosis, Susan faces an impossible dilemma: how to secure Simon’s future when she can no longer protect him. She reaches out to his estranged father, Joseph, hoping to rekindle his sense of responsibility before it’s too late. Yet letting go of Simon tears her apart—not only because she loves him as her own, but because he is a living reminder of her beloved sister.
​
Poignant, intimate, and emotionally gripping, this is the story of a woman confronting her mortality, a boy haunted by fractured identities, and the enduring power of family love in the face of devastating loss.
