When Driss, an ex-con from the projects, is hired to take care of an eccentric French aristocrat named Philippe, his newfound job quickly becomes an unpredictable adventure. Speeding a Maserati through Paris, seducing women and paragliding over the Alps is just the beginning, as Driss turns the often humorous world of upper-class Parisian society upside-down. As this unlikely duo overcome adversity of every flavor in this true story, they also shatter their preconceptions of love, life and each other.

Nakache and Toledano prove to be quite wise in how they approach the material, indeed playing on familiar ground but, contrary to what many other directors and writers might have done, they understand where exactly the strengths of the film lie. Edgar Chaput, SOUND ON SIGHT
