Inadvertent cross dressing. Attempted murder. Jail break. A waltz at a funeral. A hernia the size of Guernsey. Heartbreaking and darkly comic, these are the moments that litter the messy road from cared-for to carer, a journey that Robyn Hollingworth finds herself on when she’s only 25 years old. Leaving London to return home to rural South Wales, Robyn finds that it’s her old life – same teddy bears resting on her pillow, their bodies tucked under the duvet; same view of the garages behind which she’d had her first cigarette and first kiss – but so much has changed. Her dad, the proud, charmingly intelligent, self-made man who made people laugh, was in the grip of early onset Alzheimer’s. His brilliant mind, which saw him building power stations and literally bringing light into the lives of others, had succumbed to darkness.

The story of how Abdel Sellou (a charismatic ex-con) came to be the caretaker of Philippe Pozzo di Borgo (a paralysed French aristocrat) inspired the award-winning French movie ‘Les Intouchables’ (2012), which became an international phenomenon and broke records as one of the most successful French movies of all time. Now, ‘The Upside,’ the American remake of ‘Les Intouchables,’ starring Kevin Hart, Bryan Cranston, and Nicole Kidman is released in 2019. Abdel Sellou and Philippe Pozzo di Borgo were two people marginalised by society: Sellou a wisecracking, unemployed immigrant, just out on parole; Pozzo a man born to wealth and privilege, recently paralysed from the neck down after a paragliding accident. How they came to help each other, and the unlikely friendship that became a lifeline for them both, is an uplifting story that’s now been told and retold around the world.
