What Is Us Two About?

The premise of Us Two without spoilers.

Françoise runs a scheme seducing married men whose wives want divorces, collecting incriminating evidence, and blackmailing politicians. After being raped, she never looked back. Police chase her, so she turns to a couple who hide fugitives. There she meets Simon, a second‑generation mobster; they flee, pull occasional heists for cash, and fall in love.
