Description
"Chris Gardner es un padre de familia que lucha por sobrevivir. A pesar de sus valientes intentos para mantener a la familia a flote, la madre de su hijo de cinco años Christopher comienza a derrumbarse a causa de la tensión constante de la presión económica; incapaz de soportarlo, en contra de sus sentimientos, decide marcharse. Chris, convertido ahora en padre soltero, tenazmente continúa buscando un trabajo mejor pagado empleando todas las tácticas comerciales que conoce. Consigue unas prácticas en una prestigiosa correduría de bolsa y, a pesar de no percibir ningún salario, acepta con la esperanza de finalizar el plan de estudios con un trabajo y un futuro prometedor. Sin colchón económico alguno, pronto echan a Chris y a su hijo del piso en el que viven y se ven obligados a vivir en centros de acogida, estaciones de autobús, cuartos de baño o allá donde encuentren refugio para pasar la noche. A pesar de sus preocupaciones, Chris continúa cumpliendo sus obligaciones como padre y se muestra cariñoso y comprensivo, empleando el afecto y la confianza que su hijo ha depositado en él como incentivo para superar los obstáculos a los que se enfrenta."--Sitio web de HoyCinema.
Description
Chris Gardner was a struggling salesman. His wife worked double shifts to support the family including their young son, Christopher. In the face of this difficult life, Chris has the desperate inspiration to try for a stockbroker internship where one in twenty has a chance of a lucrative full time career. Even when his wife leaves him because of this choice, Chris clings to this dream. The odds become more daunting by the day. Together, father and son struggle through homelessness, jail time, tax seizure and the overall punishing despair in a quest that would make Gardner a respected millionaire.
