There is something so special about a relationship that just doesn't fit the "norm". This movie was an example of that. It was touching, clever and made you root for the spirit of the characters. It was also based on a true story. You had me at "based". Funny, I recently watched a show that highlighted unlikely animal friends. A tortoise was a friend with a hippo. A crow was a pal with a cat. In this French, subtitled film a thug was a soul mate to a wealthy man in a wheelchair.
Why is the unlikely partnership such a draw? Is it because we all crave acceptance? Do we need an extra large acceptance when the difference is bigger? Does it then create even more hope for us all? Does choice over necessity or obligation make it all sweeter? Maybe. Whatever the reason, this film made your heart smile.
