In the film I am Sam (2001) tells a story of a father with an intellectual disability who raises his daughter. This character is mentioned as Sam who has a daughter named Lucy. Lucy has above average intelligence so the school is worried that she can't grow up well because her father has a disability. Thus Lucy's school took this matter to court. With the limitations that Sam has, Sam is often considered different and unable to be a father. However, with a hard struggle, Sam finally managed to always be there for Lucy as a father.
