Everybody, including Madeline’s family, thinks they are simply neighbors. When an unforeseen crisis turns their relationship upside down, Madeline’s daughter (Léa Drucker) begins to gradually unravel the truth between them.

‘Two Of Us’ (aka Deux in French) is produced by Paprika Films with The Party Film Sales on international rights.

Last year, France had sent ‘Les Misérables’ for Oscars, the Ladj Ly-hemled feature debut that went on to a nomination. Oscars 2021: All International Feature Films submissions so far
