|ShortSummary = Day 5: On her way to work, Ley spots the bakery van. Inside, she finds Manon, the baker's daughter, asleep on the floor. She offers her help but Manon says she only needs sleep. Ley buys some pastries and leaves. She goes to see Capitani, who is still asleep in his hotel room. Together, they go to the army base to speak with Jerry Kowalska, who has a previous conviction for a sex offense. Tanja goes back to school for the first time after reappearing, only to be stared at and mocked by other students. She finds offensive graffiti on her locker. Tanja gives Lea and Tun the cold shoulder, and later tells her boyfriend they should break up. The town's new mayor, Mick Engel, visits with Mores and tries to get information from him about the police investigation. The constable is reluctant to reveal anything, but Mick's cajoling convinces him to give him a lead. Capitani and Ley return to town and go find Gérard Gaspard, who is also on the sex offender list. He tells them he has an alibi for the night Jenny disappeared, claiming he was playing cards with the pastor and the baker. While driving later on, Capitani and Ley spot Tanja walking on her own, so they give her a lift into town. At home, she shares an emotional moment with her parents as they plan Jenny's funeral. Capitani and Ley return to the forest to investigate further. Capitani decides to explore a previously unknown path marked by a unicorn, a symbol that matches an image on the bag of pills they found in Rob's car. Ley goes back to town to confirm Gaspard's alibi, but not before Capitani snatches the bag of pastries that she got from Manon in the morning. Ley's first stop is the bakery, where she finds out that Gaspard lied about the time the card game finished. She asks about muffins with Smarties on top, the pastry she got from Manon and which Capitani took from her, only to be told that the bakery doesn't sell such an item. Tanja visits the church and goes to the confessional. Ley arrives shortly after, and Tanja runs out. Pastor Claude corroborates the baker's story, which confirms that Gaspard is lying. Capitani is seen walking in the forest, eating his muffin, but he gradually becomes dizzy and passes out.

|ShortSummary = Day 5: Capitani wakes up in the forest after having eaten a muffin and overdosed on the pills it contained. Coincidentally, former mayor Rommes walks by, still on the hunt for an elusive wolf. Capitani reaches the end of the unicorn trail, where he finds a log cabin. Opening a window, he peers inside and takes a few pictures. At home, Nadine finds Mick's phone, and reads the coroner's report sent to him by Mores. Mick arrives shortly after (it isn't made clear how Nadine alerted him since she has his phone) and she hints at getting revenge against Gaspard, who is now the prime suspect in Jenny's rape and murder. Ley picks up Capitani and they rush to Gaspard's residence. There they find Mick beating him up, while a small fire burns in the background, where Gaspard was attempting to burn computer hard drives and other materials. Tanja comes home and hears her parents having sex upstairs in the bedroom. Ley and Capitani return to the office, where Mores tells them a Diane Bonifas is waiting to meet the detective. This latter sends the two constables away and sits down with his former boss, who is now with Internal Affairs. In the meantime, Ley goes back to the army base. She sneaks in while the guard, Frank Ferrone, is distracted, and Steve catches her as she is exiting his tent. They have a tense conversation and she notices that he is missing a button from one of his sleeve cuffs, the same kind that she found in the forest on Day 1. Tanja goes for a walk in the forest and lies down close to the spot where her sister's body was found. She hears voices in her head, flashbacks from the day Jenny died. Bonifas records her conversation with Capitani, and they discuss an old case of a murdered drug dealer. She reveals that he was killed using a police-issue bullet. As he is leaving the office, Capitani corners Manon at her bakery van and questions her about the pills in the muffin. As night falls, Tanja is still in the forest. Walking back, she hears sounds and stumbles upon the log cabin. Inside, she witnesses a conversation between Steve, Ferrone, and Manon discussing illicit drug deals. Ferrone spots her at the window and the two soldiers give chase.

|ShortSummary = Day 6: Frank Ferrone is told by his commander that he must surrender a flash drive he used to organize resupply logistics for the army squadron. He does so reluctantly, then goes to find Steve and Jerry and tells them. Capitani, on his way back to town from his morning jog, accosts the baker to ask him about drugs in his muffins. Manon is seen having sex with Mick in his office, following which he rudely dismisses her. Back at the inn, Capitani finds out that it is Carla's day off. At the camp, Steve arranges for Frank to sneak into the tent to try and call off an upcoming drug delivery. Too late, however, as it is already on its way. At the school, Capitani, Ley, and Mores are discussing the case. Manon walks in with pastries, but doesn't say anything more. Mick shows up at Nadine's house with takeout and a bottle of wine, upon Tanja's invitation. This sparks a brief argument between her and Nadine and a tense meal ensues. At the camp, Steve plans a way for the three soldiers to head off the drug-running truck during the squadron's maneuvers, when their absence will go unnoticed. Capitani stages a dramatic arrest of Jim Boever, Manon's father, in her presence, in order to pressure her to talk. Instead, she takes off in the bakery van and heads for the woods. Capitani gets a call from Bonifas, letting him know that Carla is under suspicion. He enters Carla's apartment by picking the lock and proceeds to search the place, finding nothing useful. At the school, Ley speaks with Jim, and he shows her an app on his phone with which he can track the bakery van. It shows it being parked in the woods. Ley takes off to find Manon, against Capitani's wishes. In the van, Manon is popping pills and drinking. She attempts to call Mick, only to get his voicemail. Capitani interrogates Jim at the school. Ley finds Manon passed out in the van, having overdosed. She carries her to the police car and drives back to the village. At home, Nadine finds a letter stuck to the back of a picture frame, an image of her with Rob that Mick had earlier laid face down.

Through an inquiry with Interpol, she discovers Carla's presence in the village. Capitani goes to speak with Nadine and Tanja. He gradually connects several clues, including a tattoo that Jenny had, and realizes that Tanja is in fact the twin who died; Jenny has been impersonating her sister.

He then goes to the army base with a warrant and asks to search one of the trucks, where he finds concealed drugs. Bonifas shows up at the inn and requests a room from Carla.

Capitani is a Luxembourg crime drama series created by Thierry Faber, Eric Lamhène, and Christophe Wagner that premiered on 1 October 2019 on RTL Télé Lëtzebuerg. Elsewhere, the series was released on Netflix on 11 February 2021.[1] The show has been renewed for a second season, which is set to begin filming in March 2021, and will also be directed by Christophe Wagner.[2] Capitani is the first Luxembourgish crime series as well as the country's first Netflix series.[3][4]

Synopsis

The body of 15-year-old Jenny Engel is found in a forest near the fictional village of Manscheid (Mënscht), in the north of Luxembourg. Inspector Luc Capitani is called in from the south of the country to investigate the murder. He receives support in his investigations from young local police officer Elsa Ley. Capitani has difficulty dealing with the villagers' mentality, however. During their investigation, the two penetrate further into a complicated web of intrigue in which nothing is as it seems. Very quickly, it becomes clear that the villagers know more than they admit. In the course of the investigation, Inspector Capitani must not only track down a murderer, but also understand the mindset of each individual resident and break open a system in which many people are manipulated for the "common good".[3] The story unfolds over the span of eight days.

Production

The budget for the first season was 2.6 million Euros. Of this, €2.1 million came from the Film Fund Luxembourg, which had already supported the development of the script with €50,000 in 2017.[5] RTL contributed €300,000, with the rest coming from Samsa Film and Artémis Productions.

In June–July 2020, Film Fund Luxembourg supported the script development of the second season with €120,000.[6] In November 2020, FFL contributed another €1,300,000 towards filming. The total cost for the second season amounted to approximately €4 million.[7]

Reception

The series broke all records in its respective category on RTL Télé Lëtzebuerg. Polling firm TNS Ilres determined that an average of 147,500 viewers watched each episode upon its initial release, corresponding to 29% of the population of Luxembourg aged 16 and over. A survey by InternetPanel.lu showed that 90.4% of viewers were interested in seeing a second season.[8]

Music

The title of each episode of the first season is a line from poems and songs by Luxembourgish poet Michel Lentz, best known for composing the national anthem of Luxembourg.[9]
