Original synopsis

Overview

Nadine and Thies Nowak are in the worst marital strife: the not thriving restaurant, Nadine's pregnancy and Thies' inattention are the reasons. Her daughter Michelle can't take it anymore and runs away. The next morning the little girl is found dead on a ferry. No witnesses - the upper deck of the ferry was swept empty on the rainy evening. First results of the autopsy: Michelle's body has hematomas and a healed broken rib. Both older injuries unrelated to her death. Michelle was undoubtedly choked with her own jacket -a few hours after her mother alerted the police to Michelle's disappearance. Investigating the Nowak family's environment, Inspector Borowski and Frieda Jung come across Tim Hansen, a waiter at Thies' restaurant. He confirms Borowski had contact with Michelle. But is he really a suspect just because he went swimming with the girl? The situation at the Nowaks escalates, not least because Thies' ex-girlfriend Saskia has reappeared in his life. One more reason for Frieda Jung and Borowski to take a closer look at the family situation...

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.
