About ‘Lieve Mama’
The six-part Videoland Original gives us insight into the lives of Helen and Ralf on the night they both, in their own way, get involved in a robbery with a deadly ending.
Ralf (Shahine El-Hamus) is on the watch. Meanwhile his friend robs the villa of a rich family. When Helen (Rifka Lodeizen), the mother of the family, gets home, she is confronted by the robber who has overpowered her husband (Guy Clemens). This is followed by a gunshot. Ralf, who is waiting for his friend outside, has no idea what has happened inside the villa.
Helen and Ralf, two very different personalities with two very different lives, are inextricably connected to each other after this fatal night. For both of them it is the beginning of a nightmare in which they are forced to test their limits and cross them.
