The stories in The Two of Us focus on pairs: intense one-on-one
relationships and encounters. Characters undergo genetic testing,
garden, overeat, starve themselves, consider suicide, travel, have their
hair cut, fall pregnant, all while simultaneously driving each other
towards moments where they - sometimes unwillingly - glimpse the meaning
and shape of their lives and who they might become.
