Storyline for The Glass Dome on Netflix
Behaviourist/criminologist Lejla returns to a small community in Sweden, a place where she once was held captive by an unknown perpetrator, but which is also her foster parents’ home.
Her foster mother has died, her foster father was the former police chief Valter.
Soon the couple starts to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a girl.
When young Lejla (Seraphine Krystek) gets back home, the door is open.
Her mother isn’t around, but that’s not unusual.
Suddenly, Lejla is grabbed.
She wakes up in a glass box, mirrored on the inside, with no idea where she is or who took her.
Decades later, Lejla (Léonie Vincent) is a criminologist living in the US.
We see her making a presentation on the mind of a child abductor, and the person who introduces her tells the audience that she has a unique perspective given that she’s an abduction victim herself.
After the lecture, she gets a phone call from her father, Valter (Johan Hedenberg) to tell her that his wife Ann-Marie died.
Ann-Marie and Valter, the police commissioner in Lejla’s hometown of Granås, adopted Lejla after she was found alive, and while she considered Valter the father she never had, she and Ann-Marie didn’t get along as well.
