Léon, a plant-loving New Yorker and professional hitman, or “cleaner,” has his world turned upside down when a crooked DEA agent wipes out the entire family of his tough twelve-year-old neighbour Mathilda. Since she has nowhere else to turn, the streetwise adolescent infiltrates Léon’s otherwise quiet life, even making a ridiculous bargain with her new surrogate father: in return for Léon’s vast knowledge of the barbaric art of killing, Mathilda will do the housework. Mathilda’s only motivation now is a burning desire to avenge her younger brother. Has she, on the other hand, what it takes to savour the sweet nectar of vengeance?
