SBS - The Two of Us Two Of Us celebrates all kinds of human relationships: romantic love, family bonds, friendship or the extraordinary tenderness that can occur between strangers. From pianist Simon Tedeschi’s relationship with his grandmother Lucy Gershwin, a Polish Jew and Holocaust survivor; to the infamous Mickelberg brothers, abalone fishermen famous for being framed – and doing time – for Australia’s biggest gold heist; to 57-year-old stripper Elizabeth Burton and her conservative daughter Libity, who, in the style of Saffy from Absolutely Fabulous, tells people her mother is a cleaner; this series presents individuals who have fascinating stories. sbs in Media > Movies and TV showswith bondscelebratesextraordinaryfamilyfriendshiphumanjellyloverelationshiprelationshipstenderness
