Info

The Danish mafia drama “Lulu & Leon” is a shocking story about violence, bribery, and one simple woman’s meteoric rise to the highest echelons of her husband’s criminal organization. Lulu is a charming and independent mother of two with her own hairdressing salon in the suburbs. She lives with Leon, the charismatic father and habitual criminal, who she has been in a relationship with for 10 years. But when Leon is thrown in jail Lulu is forced to deal with a world, she knows to exist but has no experience with. On top of excitement and action Lulu finds herself in a situation where she has to choose between two men. On the one hand, there is Leon; the habitual criminal whom she loves and who does so much for her and her children but at whose hand she also feels repeatedly betrayed. On the other, there is Patrick; the attractive policeman who seems to be able to give Lulu the comfort and stability she seeks but who also has deep cracks in his façade when closely scrutinized.
