What Lupin Is About?
Lupin is inspired by Maurice Leblanc’s gentleman thief that is Arsène Lupin. The show follows the adventures of Assane Diop, a master of disguise and all manner of civilized criminal behavior, as he tries to clear his own father’s name. Assane and also his father that is Babakar move to Paris from Senegal looking for a better life. Babakar gets work as a chauffeur with the wealthy Pellegrini family.
The head of the family named Hubert is autocratic and brusque, his wife named Anne is kinder and his daughter, Juliette shows a teasing interest in the 14-year-old Assane. When a fabulous necklace that once adorned the doomed queen, Marie Antoinette, and now belonging to the Pellegrini family goes missing, Babakar is suspected. Even without hard evidence, Babakar is put in prison where he hangs himself, and Assane is orphaned.
Twenty-five years later, the queen’s necklace comes up for auction at the Louvre and who should be in on the proceedings but none other than Assane. The necklace is stolen and the police are running in circles trying to find the thief who apparently spirited away the necklace under the highest security. Though police captain Laugier and Lieutenant Sofia follow conventional leads, their colleague, Guedira makes the Lupin connection.
