"My Name Is Sam" is one of the most poetic films there is, a film that triggers a multitude of emotions: joy, surprise, sadness, pain, reflection.
A father with a mild mental disability whose priority is little Lucy Diamond, a child who suffers greatly due to her father's condition to the point that it partly becomes her fault when social services take her away from him. With much effort, "Sam" will manage to get his daughter back, aided by his friends who have similar conditions.
The Beatles songs "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" (the protagonist's favorite song to the point of naming his daughter Lucy Diamond) frame a social reality where the healthy prevail over the sick and the different are marginalized.
