What Simon Is About

Simon runs a bar, takes nothing seriously, deals a little weed and answers to nobody. Camiel is a mild gay dentist. They meet because of an accident, and an unlikely friendship forms between them. Then something happens in Thailand and they do not see each other for a decade. When they meet again Simon is seriously ill and intends to die on his own terms. Eddy Terstall's Dutch film handles euthanasia, friendship and death without asking anyone to weep. Cees Geel plays Simon and Marcel Hensema plays Camiel. It looks straight at dying and keeps the jokes anyway.
