This French film is a heartwarming and humorous variation on Driving Miss Daisy, though less about race and more about living a full life despite disability. Philippe is a quadriplegic who hires Driss to be his new caregiver. He chooses Driss, who is arguably the least qualified candidate, because he does not want any pity. The audience learns to not pity Philippe and to even laugh with him. Driss is not only an employee, but becomes a close friend. They confide in each other, joke with each other and expose each other to their interests. Both actors do an excellent job and the writing is genuinely funny.
