They wear U.S. Army-issue fatigues or blue-green Honduran-made uniforms or, in the case of new recruits, civilian clothes. Armed with Belgian FAL or Chinese-made AK-47 assault rifles and trained by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency in demolition and information gathering, they appear to be a well-conditioned, highly motivated team.

Lena (Isabelle Huppert), a Belgian Jew, emerged from an internment camp with her sad-sack husband Michel (Guy Marchand) and a handmade marital straitjacket. Madeleine (Miou Miou) saw her glamorous first husband die from enemy gunfire in the town square, then fell into a pleasureless marriage with a slimy hustler named Costa (Jean-Pierre Bacri). By 1952, when most of Entre Nous takes place, each woman is eager to escape the emotional claustrophobia of cooking the meals, chaperoning the children, counterfeiting passion as Monsieur Wrong rolls...
