The Four of Us is a 2021 German film directed by Florian Gottschick, written by Florian von Bornstädt and starring Jonas Nay, Nilam Farooq and Paula Kalenberg. The film was released by Netflix in October 2021. The original title is Du Sie Er & Wir ("you, her, him and us").

The Four of Us is a relationship drama involving two couples: the aspiring young journalist Janina (Nina) and her husband Ben, a struggling actor; and Janina's best friend Maria and Maria's boyfriend, the estate agent Nils. Four weeks previously, the four had agreed to a partner exchange, whereby Janina lived with Nils, and Maria with Ben, with an understanding that there should be no intimacy. The aim was that each should learn more about what they really want in a relationship. As the film opens, they gather at a holiday house by the beach on the North Sea to discuss their experiences. It soon becomes apparent that all four of them have broken the no-sex rule, and it appears that Ben and Maria are in love, and Janina is pregnant from Nils. Over the next two days they try to find a way of moving forward, other truths emerge, and it becomes clear that all of them have changed in their feelings and expectations of love.
