“A SHOCKING CALL”
“For Simon, it was a time of heaven and hell. The oppressed and hidden talents have come to life, and he is very well aware of his plan to tell his life story. He had flown to Brazil, where his mother’s family resided. A place where he always felt very comfortable. He hoped that there, he could start to live his life with a new awareness.”
