Starring: Francois Cluzet, Omar Sy.

A lighthearted start to our new season, with this engaging comedy from France, based on a true story. Phillippe is a millionaire living in luxury in Paris: however, he is also confined to a wheelchair following a tragic paragliding accident. On an impulse he engages the happy-go-lucky Driss as a personal carer. On the face of it, this is an entirely unsuitable choice- Driss is poorly educated, unemployed and unqualified- and he also has a minor criminal record. But his energy and enthusiasm for life is going to have a profound effect on both of them.
