The man is busy looking for an assistant – a caregiver. He doesn’t just need a man to be his arms and legs – he needs someone he can trust. At his estate, Philip carefully selects candidates, but, to the surprise of those around him, the job goes to the one who seems to be the least suitable for it – a guy who grew up on the outskirts of the city and has just been released from prison. What can a rich person with a disability and a former street thug have in common? That’s right, nothing. But perhaps it seems so only at first glance. A film about friendship, understanding and courage to allow your soul everything, regardless of the circumstances!
