The Luck of Ginger Coffey background

The Luck of Ginger Coffey

A struggling Irish immigrant in Montreal clings to optimism, despite his family's growing frustration with his lack of stability and stubborn refusal to accept reality.

Ginger Coffey, a struggling dreamer, relocates his family from Ireland to Montreal, Canada, in search of a better life. Despite initial optimism, the family faces disappointment and struggle to adapt to their new surroundings. Ginger's luck changes when a wealthy friend secures him a job as a proofreader at a newspaper, a position he initially rejects due to his journalistic aspirations. The job's low pay forces Ginger to take on a second job as a delivery man, further straining his already fragile situation. His pride and self-importance ultimately lead to poor decisions, causing his life to spiral out of control.
