Synopsis:

Philippe is a French millionaire, with an immense fortune but because of his quadriplegic status, he looks for a caregiver (personal assistant) and then meets Driss, a Senegalese immigrant who lives in the Paris suburb of a marginal neighborhood and who ended up getting out of prison, he gets the job, although he has no qualifications, no training and no recommendations for that.

Do you know why he gets the job?

Simply because he treats Philippe as a normal man, no stereotypes, stigmas and, above all, pity, that's where the most human and emotional side of this film is, and then Philippe clearly demonstrates that satisfaction, and often, Driss passed him something for him to be beaten and forgot that he was a quadriplegic.

The film in turn opens up a lot of space for scenes of humor, to laugh even, that fit delicately in the plot, no sad scenes of overcoming. The feature is based on the daily lives of the two men, and shows that despite the enormous difference between the two, one becomes extremely important in the life of the other.

Although Philippe had his difficulties due to his lack of movement and dependence on someone else, Driss also had a troubled and difficult life, which despite not having any physical handicaps, finds several obstacles to be overcome. It is possible to notice that the film works a lot with this social and economic contrast between the two main characters.

The fit of the characters is perfect, their relationship is marked by laughter and advice, and shows a realistic drama, transmitting the daily lives of two friends of strong personalities who, despite the differences, support and help each other in almost all aspects .
