Coins for Christmas (2018)

In the frosty heart of the holiday season, Madison, a tenacious single mother, finds her financial situation teetering on the brink of disaster. With Christmas only a fortnight away, her resources are drying up rapidly; her bank account is frozen by the IRS, her unreliable ex-husband fails to provide any support, and she loses her job to an unforgiving boss. Swallowed by desperation, Madison plunges headlong into the bustling "gig economy", a realm of opportunity and uncertainty. It is here she crosses paths with the brash, sidelined ex-pro footballer, Alec Darby, who, unbeknownst to everyone, is skirting the edge of financial ruin himself. Despite their clashing personalities, Alec hires Madison, sparking a tumultuous professional relationship that is as unpredictable as a game of football on a rainy day. As they continuously lock horns, an unlikely bond begins to form between them. In the midst of their bickering, they stumble upon lessons about self-improvement and personal growth. With every clash, they learn more about themselves and inspire each other to evolve into better versions of themselves. "Coins for Christmas" is a heartwarming tale of resilience, transformation, and the unexpected friendships that can blossom during the most challenging times.
