By: Filippo Meneghetti With: Léa Drucker, Martine Chevallier, Barbara Sukowa

Living in adjoining apartments, the two retired women Nina and Madeleine have been having a secret love affair for decades. In the eyes of everyone around them, including Madeleine’s family, they are merely neighbours sharing the same house entrance. But, in fact, the widowed, caring Madeleine and the free-spirited, independent Nina are sharing a tender life between their apartments and are making plans for a future together. However, a tragic incident thwarts all their intentions, and their secret is in danger of being revealed. Along an unparalleled story about a lesbian relationship in old age, the moving and magnificently acted drama DEUX tells of the universal desire for intimacy.
