The Intouchables

Exemplary feel-good French comedy that details the unlikely friendship between an aristocratic quadriplegic and a young French-African ex-con he hires as his caretaker.

When Driss, an ex-con from the projects, is hired to take care of an eccentric French aristocrat named Philippe, his newfound job quickly becomes an unpredictable adventure. Speeding a Maserati through Paris, seducing women and paragliding over the Alps is just the beginning, as Driss turns the often humorous world of upper-class Parisian society upside-down. As this unlikely duo overcome adversity of every flavour in this true story, they also shatter their preconceptions of love, life and each other.
