L'amour et les forêts, internationally released as Just the Two of Us, is a 2023 French psychological drama film directed by Valérie Donzelli. The story follows Blanche Renard, a French teacher who believes she has found her ultimate soulmate when she reconnects with Grégoire Lamoureux, an attentive and charismatic banker. Their romance accelerates rapidly, culminating in marriage, pregnancy, and a sudden relocation from Normandy to Metz. However, once isolated from her family and her beloved twin sister Rose, Blanche discovers that Grégoire’s intense devotion is a facade for pathologically jealous, narcissistic control. He systematically strips away her freedom—controlling her expenses, tracking her movements, and subjecting her to constant emotional and psychological abuse. Suffocating under his domestic tyranny, Blanche seeks a brief escape by registering on a dating site and engaging in a one-off extramarital encounter with a man named David. When Grégoire uncovers the infidelity, his toxic behavior escalates into an obsessive, terrifying interrogation that pushes Blanche to a desperate suicide attempt before she finally fights to break free from his dangerous grip.
