- DirectorOlivier NakacheÉric ToledanoStarsFrançois CluzetOmar SyAnne Le NyAfter he becomes a quadriplegic from a paragliding accident, an aristocrat hires a young man from the projects to be his caregiver.I was conflicted for a long time. "Should I watch it? Or not?" I am just soooo happy that eventually I did watched this movie. It reminded me the French cinema from past decades. It was funny, smart, emotional and it had its own way to make you consider some things. I tend to categorise it with movies such as "Les vacances de monsieur Hilot", "Le diner de cons" and "The corsican file" although these are three totally different movies, but equally strong.
This is the true story about an x-convicted guy gets hired by a very rich crippled guy as his personal assistand-nurse, and very soon a strong bond grows between the two men
