In the video, a person is seen holding a chestnut in their hand. The chestnut has a crack in it, and the person is peeling it open. The chestnut is dark brown in color, and the person is using their fingers to carefully peel away the outer layer of the shell. The background is blurred, but it appears to be a kitchen or dining area. The person's movements are deliberate and precise as they work to remove the shell from the chestnut.
