About
Rent on Apple TV+ or buy on Apple TV+.
Simon Birch and Joe Wenteworth are boys who have a reputation for being oddballs. Joe never knew his father, and his mother, Rebecca, is keeping her lips sealed no matter how much he protests. Simon, meanwhile, is an 11-year-old dwarf whose outsize personality belies his small stature. Indeed, he often assails the local reverend with thorny theological questions and joins Joe on his quest to find his biological father.
Simon Birch navigates a world that constantly underestimates his massive spirit due to his small physical stature. This heartfelt journey follows his unlikely bond with a fellow outcast as they fight to define themselves on their own terms.
