Description:

This poignant film follows Sam, a father with neurodivergent traits, as he navigates parenthood after unexpectedly welcoming a baby daughter into the world with the help of a homeless woman who quickly leaves them behind. Despite his best efforts to provide for Lucy and instill values, Sam's limitations eventually lead to their separation by authorities. Enter Rita, a highly regarded yet emotionally distant lawyer whose life takes an unforeseen turn when Sam implores her for pro bono representation in a heartfelt plea. As their roles reverse, the story delves into themes of compassion, understanding, and the transformative power of love as it brings together two seemingly dissimilar individuals to face challenges that test the boundaries of family, law, and human connection.
