Synopsis
One day, after leaving a farewell letter to his parents, Simon Harvey, a 26-year-old Christian embarked on a journey to the Sussez countryside where he decided to take his own life by means of exhaust fumes--while the hymn "To God the Glory" played on the car radio. Simon's Cristianity and homosexulity presented him with two worlds which he was not able to reconcile. Diary passages, recollections of his parents, friends and clergymen at whose churches he worshipped, shed light upon grey areas of Simon's life while reconstructing the background of the tragedy.
