Produced by Quad Films in collaboration with Beside Productions, Hors Normes (The Specials), directed by Olivier Nakache and Éric Toledano (The Intouchables), shines a light on the daily lives of two organizations supporting individuals with severe autism.
Inspired by true events, the film is both moving and authentic, portraying the dedication and challenges faced by those working in these associations. With powerful performances by Vincent Cassel and Reda Kateb, it brings forward a deeply human perspective often overlooked in public health discussions.
The film was part of the Official Selection at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival and received multiple César 2020 nominations, confirming its impact on both the French and international film scenes.
Beside Productions contributed to this heartfelt project by mobilizing Belgian technical talent.
