"The Intouchables" is a 2011 French comedy-drama film directed by Olivier Nakache and Éric Toledano.
At night in Paris, Driss is driving Philippe's Maserati at high speed. They are chased by the police. Driss claims the quadriplegic Philippe must be urgently driven to the emergency room; Philippe pretends to have a stroke and the fooled police officers escort them to the hospital.
The story of the friendship between the two men is then told as a flashback: Philippe, a rich quadriplegic who owns a luxurious mansion, and his assistant Magalie, are interviewing candidates to be his live-in caregiver. Driss, a candidate, has no ambitions to get hired. He is just there to get a signature showing he was interviewed and rejected in order to continue to receive his welfare benefits. He is told to come back the next morning to get his signed letter.
