Les intouchables
This French comedy/drama took many people by surprise by becoming a world-wide success at the box office and earned Omar Sy the best actor award at the Cannes festival, even though he was pretty much unknown before then. It became the second biggest box office hit in France. http://www.trinity.cumbria.sch.uk/mfl/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/intouchables.flv
