SYNOPSIS

The plot develops around a young woman found brutally murdered in a playground
in Copenhagen,  with one of her hands missing. Ambitious detective Naia Thulin
and her new partner, Mark Hess, are assigned to find the murderer. They notice a
small figurine made up of chestnut and sticks lying above the dead body.
Further, the fingerprints of a politician’s missing daughter, presumed dead for
a year, are found on the chestnut figurine. This recent murder then opens up an
old murder case of an entire family in 1987 on an isolated farm.




WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE CHESTNUT MAN?

The series is ambiguous and unsettling. There is always something left behind.
In the first episode out of the six, a group of Danish schoolchildren sings a
rhyme about the chestnut man, “Chestnut Man, Come Inside Chestnut Man, Come
Inside, Do you have any chestnut…”.

A murderer leaves a chestnut man after killing the young woman. Interestingly,
the outer casing is still green like it has just fallen from the tree. The
frequent murders are not enough. There comes more on the way as the mystery gets
further twisted. There happens to be a repetition of patterns from the
30-year-old murders on an isolated farm. Now again, ‘Chestnut Man’ has returned
and is on a killing spree.
