The Intouchables

Synopsis

In Paris, the aristocratic and intellectual Philippe is a quadriplegic millionaire who is interviewing candidates for the position of his carer, with his red-haired secretary Magalie. Out of the blue, Driss cuts the line of candidates and brings a document from the Social Security and asks Phillipe to sign it to prove that he is seeking a job position so he can receive his unemployment benefit. Philippe challenges Driss, offering him a trial period of one month to gain experience helping him. Then Driss can decide whether he would like to stay with him or not. Driss accepts the challenge and moves to the mansion, changing the boring life of Phillipe and his employees.

In 2011 THE INTOUCHABLES broke box office records across Europe and became the second biggest box office hit ever in France, and the most watched French film in the world with 51.5 million tickets worldwide. Omar Sy's performance won him the César Award for Best Actor becoming the first French African actor to receive this honor.
