Kaj ustvarja čarobnost življenja? Kaj je tisto, kar človeka žene, da poskuša, se spotika in se zaletava v zid, dokler mu ne uspe? In kaj potem vse tiste vzpone in padce, ki sledijo uspehu, pretvori v oprijemljiv občutek radosti in spoznanja? Osmi film Davida O. Russella sledi štirim desetletjem vzpenjanja matere samohranilke do položaja poslovne magnatinje in pri tem raziskuje, kako drznost, vztrajnost in vzdržljivost vizije ljudi iz običajnosti ponesejo do izjemnih trenutkov ustvarjalnosti, prizadevnosti in ljubezni.

Zgodba, ki se okvirno napaja iz življenja in vzpona izumiteljice in zvezdnice prodajnega TV kanala Joy Mangano, osrednjo junakinjo in njeno garaško, a napol razsulo družino spremlja na njihovi divji poti, na kateri se mladenka razvije v vzorno poglavarko družine in pravo vodjo. Ustvarjalna je in skrbeča do vseh okoli sebe, a izkuša izdaje, prevare, poslovi se od svoje naivnosti in okusi bolečine ljubezni; skozi vse to pa najde moč in vero, da sledi svojih sanjam, ki jih je bila nekoč potlačila. Rezultat je čustvena in človeška komedija o vzponu posameznice, ki krmari skozi neodpuščajoči poslovni svet , družinski kaos in uganko navdiha, da najde svoj neomajni vir sreče.

1995. Joy has always been fascinated by creating things, this pursuit always supported emotionally by her maternal grandmother, Mimi. Joy feels that lack of practical support has led to others making fortunes on ideas she had come up with years ago but could not act upon manufacturing. Despite being broke, Joy is the person in her extended family to who everyone has always turned, in the process forgoing her own life, including not having attended college to help see her parents through their divorce. She works in an unsatisfying job as an Eastern Airlines ticket clerk, and lives with her mother Terry who spends all day in bed watching soap operas, her ex-husband Tony, a less than successful aspiring Latino Tom Jones wannabe, and their two children. Added to this mix is her father Rudy, the owner of a failing heavy-duty garage, which is managed by Joy's older half-sister Peggy, with who she has somewhat of a strained relationship, and for which Joy does the books.
