As a retired nurse and caregiver, with a background in mental health care in the community and in institutions, I found this movie to pretty accurately show what it is like to be a quadriplegic. I loved the depiction of the caregiver, and his life. The way the "patient"'s staff was affected by and interacted with Diss seemed improbable, but I sure wanted it to be true; (maybe French are more accepting than Americans.
Wonderful to find out that its based on real life. with a real happy ending. By all means watch this. From an 89 year old TV watcher.
