The Upside

The Upside

Dell has many problems in his life. He is unemployed, although he does not even try to invent anything to get money. He sees the only income as unemployment benefits. But even for this, it is necessary to create the appearance that he is looking for a job. So he accidentally got to one rich man, Philip, who is paralyzed all over his body up to his head. Dell is absolutely not suitable for this, and he was not going to work there at all, but the millionaire already liked him very much. This is how the joint story of two completely different people began: a disabled person who needs new colors in life, and a guy with a criminal past who dreams of seeing his son again all the time.
