Richard Gere delivers a soul-baring performance as George, a man whose struggle to find food and a place to sleep in New York City is beautifully captured with remarkable realism and heartrending compassion. Shuffled into the unforgiving bureaucracy of a men s shelter, George seems destined to wind up as just another lost soul swallowed up by the system until he meets a gregarious, down-and-out ex-jazzman who inspires George to reconnect with his estranged daughter.
