"Chris Gardner is an intelligent, energetic guy who can't catch a break. In the sluggish Bay Area economy of 1981, he's losing ground, by investing all his family's money in high cost bone-density scanners. His wife leaves him, he loses his apartment, and with his 5-year-old son in tow joins the ranks of the homeless, if not the hopeless. Bounced from shelter to shelter, he finds himself a single dad who has to support and care for a young child. Impressing a Dean Witter higher-up by solving a Rubik's cube during a taxi ride, Chris gets a place in a stockbroker-training program. But internships don't pay, and there's no guarantee he'll be offered a job at the end of it. Against all odds, he pushes toward success, and eventually turns his life around."@en

"San Francisco, 1981. Chris Gardner kann mit seinem Job als Vertreter seine Frau Linda und ihren 5-jährigen Sohn Christopher kaum über Wasser halten. Als Linda die finanzielle Last nicht mehr erträgt und Ehemann und Sohn verlässt, nimmt das Unheil seinen Lauf: Vom Vermieter vor die Tür gesetzt, sind Chris und Christopher plötzlich auf Obdachlosenasyle angewiesen. Chris' einzige Chance, seinem Sohn in absehbarer Zeit ein besseres Leben zu ermöglichen, ist ein unbezahltes Praktikum als Börsenmakler, an dessen Ende ein fester Job warten könnte.

Doch eines Tages soll sich Chris' unnachgiebiges Streben nach Glück tatsächlich lohnen. (Quelle: Umschlagtext)."
