Original synopsis

Overview

After the party for the winner of a violin competition, music professor Karin Landauer embarks on an erotic adventure with his brother. When she returns from the bathroom to the bedroom, she finds the young man murdered. Now the infidelity cannot be kept secret from her husband, an internationally renowned violin virtuoso. But the fact that the 300- year-old Stradivarius, "The Sleeping Beauty", which belongs to his wife, has disappeared from the apartment hits him far harder than the adultery. Inspector Moritz Eisner does not really believe in robbery and murder and begins to examine the private and professional situation of the artist couple. He soon finds out that their marriage hasn't been as happy as it seems on the outside for a long time.

About the show

Tatort is a long-running German/Austrian/Swiss crime television series set in various parts of these countries. The show is broadcast on the channels of ARD in Germany, ORF 2 in Austria, and SF1 in Switzerland. The first episode was broadcast on November 29, 1970. The opening sequence for the series has remained the same throughout the decades, which remains highly unusual for any such long-running TV series to date. Each of the regional TV channels that together form ARD, plus ORF and SF, produces its own episodes, starring its own police inspector, some of which, like the discontinued Schimanski, have become cultural icons. The show appears on DasErste and ORF 2 on Sundays at 8:15 p.m. and currently about 30 episodes are made per year. As of March 2013, 865 episodes in total have been produced. Tatort is currently being broadcast in the United States on the MHz Worldview channel under the name Scene of the Crime.
