Enjoy Luxembourgish culture and landscapes on Netflix! 😍 "Capitani" was broadcasted in 2019, but its real success came when it was shown on Netflix in February 2021. It is in the top 10 of series with the highest viewing figures in 49 different countries! The actor Luc Schiltz, who plays the role of the moody but demanding policeman Capitani, has appeared on television screens around the world.💫 Spotlight on 5 iconic characters from Luxembourgish fiction: 1. Superjhemp, the super-anti-hero of Luxusbuerg. He draws his powers from Kachkéis, the Luxembourgish cheese, and flies with his hands in his pockets, "like a true Luxembourger". By day, Charel Kuddel is a civil servant leading a boring life. By night, he becomes Superjhemp, a caped crusader solving crimes and fighting villains. Superjhemp also casts a light on Luxembourg, VIPs and gives you the opportunity to practice Luxembourgish!⭐ 2. Mr Hublot. He wears large thick lens glasses and has an odometer-like counter in his forehead which displays figures. It's Mr Hublot, the iconic character from the film of the same title which in 2014 won the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film.😀 3. Maus Ketti: Maus Ketti remains one of the most popular stories in Luxembourgish literature. Ketti, a friendly mouse from the south of the country, welcomes her rather snobbish cousin Mim, who lives in Clausen, in the capital. Unhappy with the food served to her, Mim invites Ketti to the city to show her all the fancy delicacies that she keeps talking about. This story casts a light on the difference between life in the countryside and in the city, and the lessons to be learned from it.🌟 4. Xavier Kieffer. Xavier Kieffer is a former Michelin-starred chef who now runs a small restaurant in Luxembourg. When a Parisian food critic suddenly collapses in his restaurant, the chef is suspected of murder and he immediately takes care of the situation: the budding amateur detective takes the investigation into his own hands. No need to panic... Xavier Kieffer is in fact the hero of the crime novels by Tom Hillenbrand which take place in the Grand Duchy and its surroundings.✨ 5. Luc Capitani. Luc Capitani is the latest newcomer to inspire the imagination of Luxembourgers. A policeman who is demanding and grumpy in equal measure, he oversees the case of the murder of a teenage girl and the disappearance of her twin sister in Manscheid, a small village in northern Luxembourg. Originating from the mining region in the south of the country, he struggles to adapt to the mentality of the inhabitants.😉 Have you ever enjoyed Luxembourgish fiction?
