He named his daughter Lucy because he liked the Beatles' Lucy with Diamonds in the Sky best. He loves his children very much. Lucy grew up under the care of Sam, and she found that her father couldn't understand a slightly complicated story. She refused to grow up and wanted to be like her father. Father and daughter are so happy.
Education officials in this area discovered this special family. They thought Sam couldn't take care of Lucy, so they took her away.
Sad, Sam wanted to get Lucy's custody back, so he went to Rita, the best local female lawyer, to help him fight for custody.
Although Rita is clever, she is a little selfish and only cares about herself. At first, she thought it was impossible to win the case and didn't want to take it. She just can't stand the challenge of her colleagues. In order to prove to everyone that she also cares about social welfare, she reluctantly took it. Unexpectedly, in contact with Sam, Rita was moved by Sam's deep, sincere and unconditional fatherly love for Lucy.
At the same time, during the trial of the lawsuit, Rita gradually sorted out her life. For many years, she neglected her son and family for her work. It was Sam who urged her to reflect and return to her family.
