Untouchable
Uplifting French comedy drama. A quadriplegic Parisian millionaire strikes up an unlikely friendship with the young man from the projects who he hires to be his live-in carer.
Parisian aristocrat Francois Cluzet, quadriplegic since a paragliding accident, has problems in retaining a reliable carer. At yet another round of interviews, a breath of fresh air arrives in the form of Driss Bassary, who is from the projects and only there for a signature for his benefits claim. Could this be the beginning of a beautiful friendship?
In French with English subtitles.
