Filippo Meneghetti’s Two of Us (Deux, 2019), co-written by Malysone Bovorasmy and Florence Vignon, tells the story of two retired women, Nina (Barbara Sukowa) and Madeleine (Martine Chevallier), who have secretly been in love for decades. Madeleine’s family believes they’re just neighbours and friends, and while the pair dream of loving freely, she puts off telling them the truth. When Madeleine suffers a stroke, their secret life, hopes, and dreams are turned upside down.
