The Intouchables

“Sometimes you have to reach into someone else's world to find out what's missing in your own.”

Philippe (François Cluzet) is a wealthy aristocrat who needs a live-in carer after a paragliding accident left him quadriplegic. Driss (Omar Sy), a young man from the projects, turns up to the interview only to get a signature proving he applied, and Philippe hires him anyway. Olivier Nakache and Éric Toledano build the story on a real friendship, and everything Philippe has left to lose is tied to one man nobody else would have chosen.
