Original synopsis

Overview

A young girl is found dead at a small-town train station just outside of Ludwigshafen. The residents of Angerburg are quick to suspect anything, because the Engelsried forensic clinic is part of the town. In fact, one of the inmates in the psychiatric ward boasts that he committed the murder - but there is no proof that he was able to get through the security measures. And this is how Lena Odenthal and Mario Kopper investigate during their mission in Angerburgalso in the environment of the murdered girl. 16-year-old Nicki had just broken up with her boyfriend and Florian believes she fell in love with someone else. Perhaps she met him secretly at the train station. The adored volleyball coach Rolf Czerni is the most likely candidate. But while the inspectors collect evidence against Czerni, Lena gets the uncomfortable feeling that she is about to be misled by the small town gossip...

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.
