The film directed by Tim Burton tells the story of a father with his son through a story that mixes reality and fantasy. The father, Edward Bloom, is characterized by telling anecdotes that are hard to believe, which make his son William feel admiration at first, but then this turns into rejection.

“I am Sam” (2001)
I couldn’t miss this film that shows in the most sincere way everything that a father’s love can achieve.
The story introduces us to Sam, a single father with special abilities and who is the father of Lucy, a 7-year-old girl. Both are happy, but everything gets complicated when Sam’s ability to care for her daughter is questioned, and she begins to realize that her father is different from other dads.
