You Changed My Life

Abdel Sellou’s “You Changed My Life” is an incredible real story that, in different years, inspired two French and American film directors to create two adaptations of this remarkable novel. The first adaptation, released in Russian theaters under the title “1+1,” became a bestseller and won many international film awards.

It’s the story of an extraordinary friendship between two people whose paths were never supposed to cross—a paralyzed French aristocrat and an unemployed Algerian immigrant. But they met. And they changed each other’s lives forever.
