Seven-year-old Sam has lived with his mother since his parents’ divorce and now finds himself forced to move in with his father Gérôme, a writer with no source of inspiration. Sam hardly knows his father because, except on holidays, he was rarely present. Everyone believes that Gérôme is incapable of caring for a child. After a chaotic start, Sam, thanks to his persuasions, succeeds in helping Gérôme to become more thoughtful and mature, all the while teaching him to be the father he dearly misses.
SAM has a striking message for the times we live in. SAM is a voice that adults would be better for giving ear to. And SAM will leave an indelible impression on you.
