The Intouchables

A paragliding accident rendered the aristocrat a quadriplegic, and he subsequently hired a young man from the projects to take care of him. The young man, who had no experience in caregiving, quickly developed a close relationship with the aristocrat and became his primary caregiver. Despite their different backgrounds, the two formed a strong bond, and the aristocrat credited the young man with helping him regain his sense of purpose and joy in life. The experience also opened the young man’s eyes to the realities of life for those with disabilities and inspired him to pursue a career in healthcare. He went on to become a doctor specializing in physical rehabilitation, dedicating his life to helping others with disabilities achieve their full potential. His friendship with the aristocrat remained a constant inspiration throughout his career.
