Help with 1990s movie (good description)
What I do remember for sure:
I remember watching this movie in the mid/early 1990s I think about a father who wife dies AND who loses his job. The single father has two kids, a boy and a girl about 8 and 9 then struggles to feed his kids and get a job as he is not qualified for anything else.
I remember 3 scenes for sure.
I remember a scene where the father is digging through a dumpster looking for food, a car drives by as the father waves and acts like he's not doing anything, and then looks back in and finds a bag of fast food burgers I think (something meaty) and takes it home to his kids.
I remember the daughter was sick and had some kind problem. I believer she had an iron-deficiency and she needs alot of protein/meat. I remember the father gets angry about being told this and is like "I can feed my own kids".
Then I remember the end the best, the father goes to a construction site and asks for a job and the employer isn't sure so the father starts working anyways and starts moving things and makes a good impression.
If this rings a bell for anybody, please reply!!!!!!! Thanks either way ^_^
It was a movie with a sad tone but with a good strong message and optimistic ending.
I don't know anyone who was in it though.
