JOKER: FOLIE À DEUX is the story of a nihilistic man who finds a lover. After the events of the first part, Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix) is institutionalized at Arkham State Hospital for killing five men, including one on live television. Arthur hasn’t told anyone that his mother Penny Fleck (Frances Conroy) didn’t die naturally and that it was him who murdered her. He's represented by Maryanne Stewart (Catherine Keener), who sympathizes with Arthur and wants to prove in court that he has a split personality. Further, she wants to indicate to the jury that it was Joker and not Arthur that caused these killings. In Arkham, Arthur bumps into Lee (Lady Gaga). She has been institutionalized after she set fire to her parents' apartment. She knows about Arthur's past and is a fan. Both start a relationship in the prison. Lee is set free and she promises to attend his trials and that they both can have a future together. Lee's presence adds a lot of joy in Arthur's life. However, reality strikes when Maryanne tells Arthur about Lee's past. What happens next forms the rest of the film.
