Contains the films REIGN OVER ME, THE PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS, and SCENT OF A WOMAN.
In REIGN OVER ME, Charlie Fineman is a New York dentist whose post-traumatic stress caused by the loss of his wife and children on 9/11 sees him regressing to a sort of second childhood dominated by videogames, record collecting, and riding his motor scooter around the city. A chance run-in with his former college roommate spurs Charlie's first attempts at remembering his past. However, it will take more than the company of a good friend to get Charlie back to the world.
THE PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS is set in San Francisco circa 1981, where Chris Gardner's luck has run out. A bad business investment, a bevy of parking tickets, and back taxes in addition to rent, childcare, and groceries keep him constantly scrambling for cash. Chris thinks his luck is changing when he is accepted into a highly competitive internship programme at a brokerage firm. But the internship is unpaid and soon, despite his best efforts, Chris and his five-year old son Christopher find themselves homeless.
In SCENT OF A WOMAN, a blind ex-army man, Lt. Colonel Frank Slade, meets up with a young student and they both head off to New York for a weekend that will change their lives.
