Good Fortune

"Good Fortune" is the tale of two men from different cultures connected by secretly handwritten fortunes. Each overcomes adversity through journeys of change.
 
Michael Hamilton, a formerly successful San Francisco advertising executive's world shatters when he becomes a casualty of the California recession. He faces a bleak future: unemployed, despondent and alone. To pull himself together he must overcome deep emotional obstacles. Michael's pragmatic viewpoint evolves as he learns to accept a broader, unconventional vision of reality.
 
Wu, respected manager of the family-owned Good Fortune Chinese restaurant, and Tong's son, enjoys financial security. He has been a loving husband and father, but is at odds with his aging father. Gradually, Wu also becomes distant from his wife and twin boys due to his assiduous attention to business. He sacrifices family relationships in the quest for greater monetary wealth without realizing his fortune is a loving wife and sons.
Michael and Wu's challenges are like mirrored images of the Yin/Yang symbol: identical yet reversed. Good fortune is awaits when both realize contentment is less tied to outward goals than inner awareness.
