The feeling of hope is presented as a resource for coping with the challenge of uncertainty, as an experience that represents the opportunity to act, to seek support in oneself and others. It is argued that hope is especially necessary for a person when he encounters difficult life circumstances that seem insurmountable to him. The psychotherapeutic meaning of hope is considered as a feeling of a possible transformation of reality and gaining confidence in the future. The resource possibilities of a sense of hope are considered in the context of the analysis of the films “A Long Happy Life” and “Moderato Cantabile (7 Days, 7 Nights)”.
