Eyes on the prize: Jennifer Lawrence is featured primarily in the trailer released for upcoming flick Joy on Wednesday

Great rapport: The film marks the fourth time the 24-year-old actress and Bradley Cooper have worked together

JOY teaser trailer starring Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper

The short clip primarily focuses on Jennifer's character, Joy Mangano, who seems to be struggling juggling work and family life but pushes through with grit and determination.

It opens up with a silhouette of an older woman telling a younger girl: 'Listen to me, I'll going to tell you what's going to become of you, you are going to grow up and become a strong, smart young woman.

'Go to school, meet a fine young man, have beautiful children of your own and you're going to build wonderful things and that is what is going to happen to you.'

Tough times: In the flick she plays Joy Mangano as she is pictured getting papers thrown in her face at her job

Happy: The 40-year-old actor plays an executive at the Home Shopping Network in the film

Daddy dear: Robert De Niro plays Joy's father in the film

Then a Christmas choir version of Rolling Stones hit You Can't Always Get What You Want kicks in as scenes of Joy having papers thrown in her face at her job, crying at a funeral and getting on her hands and knees to scrub a floor are shown.

There are also happy moments including a wedding, a warm welcome embrace from her daughter and hanging the child's drawings up on the wall.

Then as Joy looks down with bright production lights beaming down on her, she says in an inner monologue: 'Don't ever think that the world owes you anything, because it doesn't.'

Encouraging: The trailer begins with two silhouettes as an older woman tells a young girl: 'You are going to grow up and become a strong, smart young woman'

Happy times: Joy is shown getting married to husband Tony Miranne, played by Édgar Ramírez

Warm welcome: There is a touching part where her daughter jumps into her arms

There has got to be a better way: Joy is shown getting on hands and knees to clean the floor in her home

An arresting sight: Joy is seen being put behind bars at one point

More clips are shown which include Joy being put behind bars and flashes of Bradley's and Robert De Niro's characters.

It concludes with Joy firing off a couple shotgun blasts in the middle of what looks like a parking lot as she takes a sigh of relief and says: 'My name is Joy, by the way.'

The film is centred around a family across four generations and the woman, played by Jennifer, who rises to become founder to a powerful family business empire through the invention of the Miracle Mop.

Turning point: She seems to have an epiphany as she says in an inner-monologue: 'Don't ever think that the world owes you anything, because it doesn't'

Turning around: Joy is shown in a factory, no doubt working on her life-changing invention the Miracle Mop

Man with the plan: No doubt Bradley's character was hard at work trying to push the product

Sweet talk: The two stars definitely seem to have genuine chemistry on set

Cooper plays an executive at the Home Shopping network who helps Joy and De Niro plays her father in the biographical comedy-drama movie.

The two other times that Jennifer, Bradley and director David have worked together have proven to be quite successful as both Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle received Oscar-nominations.

The starlet's performance in Silver Linings Playbook even earned her an Oscar in the Best Actress category at the 2013 Academy Awards.
