Two juxtaposing men; Philippe who is an eccentric Parisian millionaire and quadriplegic and Driss who is a strapping immigrant from a broken home, form an unusual yet heart warming friendship as Driss becomes Philippes carer and bond over the twos vastly different lives and cultural opinions, inevitably at the expense of jokes using stereotypes.
Philippes friends start to warn him of Driss' possible intentions but as he dismisses this, the two become inseparable and creates an optimistic moral that if you give a man responsibility, he will act appropriately upon that despite stereotypes.
Like 'Arrival' (2016), the plot is not necessarily linear. We had been told the film was about disability and the non-linear scene sequence caused a sense of insecurity in us, as we presumed the fast car scene would be the cause of Philippes disability. Though as we later find out, we were wrong and changes our emotions, but for the better.
