Audience Award - Festival 2012

After he becomes a quadriplegic from a paragliding accident, an aristocrat hires Driss a young man from the projects to be his caregiver.

In Detail

Paris: the aristocratic and intellectual Philippe is a quadriplegic millionaire who is interviewing candidates for the position of his carer.

Driss is only applying so he can receive his benefits but Philippe challenges him, offering him a trial period of one month to gain experience helping him. Then Driss can decide whether he would like to stay with him or not.

Driss accepts the challenge and moves to the mansion. An unlikely friendship develops between the two men.

It delivers broad laughs and tugs at the heartstrings without delving too deep – the very definition of a crowd-pleaser.
