因为一次跳伞事故,白人富翁菲利普Philippe(弗朗索瓦·克鲁塞 François Cluzet 饰)瘫痪在床,欲招聘一名全职陪护。由于薪酬高,应聘者云集,个个舌灿莲花,却无法打动他的心。直到黑人德希斯Driss(奥玛·赛 Omar Sy 饰)的出现才让他作出决定。德希斯刚从监狱出来,背负家庭重担,一心只想寻张辞退信以申领救济金,而且他明显对女助理的兴趣要远大于这份工作。但是菲利普还是一眼相中了这个小伙子。于是,德希斯开始了一个月的试用期。虽然舒适的豪宅环境让他倍感虚荣,但是他仍面临很多挑战:不仅要为菲利普作身体复健,还得给他洗浴、灌肠、拆信、穿丝袜等。起初,两人的思维方式与价值观大相径庭,但是,随着了解的不断深入,他们成为了朋友……

Based on the internationally acclaimed Tudor murder mystery novels by C.J. Sansom, the four-part drama is set in 16th century England during the dissolution of the monasteries. The series will follow the story of Matthew Shardlake, a lawyer with an acute sense of justice and one of the few honest men in a world beset with scheming and plots. Shardlake works for Thomas Cromwell, the dangerous and all-powerful right-hand man to Henry VIII. Despite Shardlake’s unwavering loyalty to Cromwell and the Crown, his position in society is unfavored due to his appearance, as a person living with scoliosis during the Tudor period, suffering the indignity of being abused as a “crookback” wherever he turns. As he investigates the murder of one of Cromwell’s commissioners at a monastery in the remote town of Scarnsea, he is accompanied by Jack Barak, a cocky and good-looking character who may be Cromwell’s spy.
Nothing is more frightening, as the narrator points out, than a ‘time-rich nosy person’. Exhibit A is Ahn Geo-ul (Gyeong Su-jin), who commits herself to social justice causes with terrifying tenacity. After temporarily renting a unit in the Baek-sae Apartment building, she discovers that a loud, hard to locate banging noise occurs from 4am every night, making the residents’ lives an insomniac hell – and so she determines to engage in her own disruption and to find the culprit of this acoustic assault, simultaneously eliminating her eccentric neighbours as suspects, and recruiting them to her cause. Focusing on a woman who is an unstoppable force for good, it is also a plea for community cohesion and solidarity.
