The boy named Sammy is surrounded by a lot of light and love in a family in which friends are also a part. Sammy has an artist mother and a scientist father and according to her mother, he looks like her. Then he grows up and so does magic, as his life is filled with many moments captured on camera, smiles, learning and fun while creating visual stories with a lot of imagination.
“That you dismiss what he does is funny or imaginative, but you could afford to be a little encouraging”, is one of the most resounding phrases expressed by Sammy’s mother, who over time, together with the boy’s father, they never cease to be amazed at what he creates. Near the end another message is heard that says: “You have to do what your heart tells you. You have to”; while holding hands between mother and son and hugging between his father and him.
