When Blanche meets Grégoire, she thinks she has found the one. The ties that bind them grow quickly, and a passionate affair ensues. Together, they relocate. But little by little she finds herself caught in the grip of a deeply possessive and dangerous man.
Blanche falls hard for Grégoire. He has everything going for him, and the passion between the two of them grows quickly: they soon marry and move in together. But what happens next is no a fairy tale. Blanche becomes isolated from those close to her, from her twin sister especially, and ends up falling into the trap of a possessive and dangerous man. Just the Two of Us depicts the control and violence that women often suffer. Written with Audrey Diwan, the film focuses on control, confidence, and the capacity to break the silence. Director Valérie Donzelli has plunged into a grey zone, where the victim feels compelled to compromise, and where the abuser vacillates between tenderness and violence.
