Two of Us

60th TIFF: Greek Premiere

Nina and Madeleine, lovers for years since the death of her latter’s husband, live in opposite apartments but spend most of the time in Madeleine’s place. When her companion suffers a heart attack, devastated Nina is forced to retreat back to her own four walls. Under the guise of neighborly friendship, Nina strives to get involved in the difficult process of Madeleine’s recovery, who is constantly surrounded by her – unaware of their mother’s romantic relationship – children. A refined social melodrama that masterfully dissects a tale of secret and thwarted love, spiced up with bits and pieces of delicate suspense.
