After a paragliding accident, when Philippe, a rich Parisian aristocrat, needs a live-in caretaker, he encounters many clones of qualified people in an interview. Driss, a strapping inner-city crook, shows up for this interview with the intention of being rejected.

However, impressed with his irreverence, Philippe hires him. What follows is the formation of a great bond between the two, as they help each other across some of the challenges in store for them.
