Review
A beautiful and touching tale about Harry (Daniel Auteuil) and Georges (Pascal Duquenne, who embark on an adventure and find friendship along the way. Harry is a high-flying salesman dedicated to his work but miserable without his wife and children. Georges has Down Syndrome and sees the world in a different way. They stumble accross each other on a rainy night and despite Harry's attempts to take Georges home, Georges stubbornly insists that Harry becomes his friend. Wonderfully funny and a beautiful look at life and love that'll have you singing along to Marcel Marceaux.
