Free Wheeling

2005

Max, a highly talented robotics enthusiast, is in serious financial trouble and risks having the few possessions he has seized by bailiffs. He therefore needs to find a job as quickly as possible. His cousin Toine, a paramedic, comes up with a dishonest but effective scheme: he suggests that Max pretend to be disabled so that he can be hired by a company that only employs people with reduced mobility. To avoid giving himself away, Max learns overnight how to live in a wheelchair. From then on, he begins to understand that the life of a disabled person is far from easy every day. At work, he makes friends and becomes close to Lucia.
