Synopsis

Paris, 1908

Lulu finds her life taking an unexpected turn when her lover, a soldier, is called into the army. With her lover’s departure, he entrusts Lulu’s care to a supposed friend. However, this friend has ulterior motives.

“Look After Lulu” is a classic farce that invites audiences into a world of love, deception, and the unpredictable nature of human relationships. At its heart is the charismatic character of Lulu, who navigates the absurd and often comical antics of those around her.
