Philippe is handsome and rich, with a palatial apartment (complete with team of domestics) in the heart of Paris. Philippe’s only “hassle,” as Driss puts it: He is paralyzed from the neck down. A young black man fresh from prison, Driss is eager for a signature from Philippe attesting that he interviewed for a caregiver position but too bad, so sad was not qualified. This signature is all Driss needs to qualify for France’s cushy unemployment benefits. Unfortunately for Driss, Philippe decides to hire him instead.
