Nina and Madeleine are deeply in love with each other. In everybody’s eyes, they are merely neighbours who live on the top floor of their building. However, on a daily basis, they come and go between their two apartments and share their lives together. No one really knows them, not even Anne, Madeleine’s attentive daughter. Until the day when a tragic event threatening to separate them forever topples everything …
CINEMANIA's opinion:
This first feature film of the young Italian director Filippo Meneghetti evokes with great delicacy and emotion the intense love between two older women. With a simple but audacious screenplay, TWO OF US is a modest melodrama that banks everything on the unspoken and the silence. The German actress Barbara Sukowa and the French theater actress Martine Chevalier make a graceful and natural couple. Léa Drucker (CUSTODY, THE BUREAU) is interposed between them, deeply moving in her role as the daughter. A great love poem on the haunting fear of separation.
