Two men—one rich, uptight, and white, and the other poor, free-spirited and black—become unlikely pals. Based on the true story of Phllippe, a paralyzed aristocrat whose employ of the street-wise hoodlum Driss unexpectedly changes both their lives. Their journey to replace antagonism and incomprehension with comfort and consensus is replete with idiosyncrasy and humanity. 2011, France, 112 minutes, rated R

“It has warmth, humor and an understated sweetness that is not to be taken for granted.” – Rex Reed, New York Observer
