Paul, a rich aristocrat and habitual thrill-seeker, becomes quadriplegic after a paragliding accident. Alone in the world and unable to care for himself in even the most basic ways, Paul employs indifferent young Senegalese émigré Driss as his carer. Despite their very different backgrounds and outlooks on life, the two men quickly form a strong bond, teaching each other important life lessons about acceptance, respect and the true meaning of friendship. A massive success both in France and here it’s easy to see why; a feel good tear jerker that’s shamelessly but charmingly manipulative of our emotions.
