Overview
The Kiel author Dirk Sauerland is found dead on his yacht. Sauerland was known beyond the borders of Kiel. In recent months he had been working on a spectacular disclosure story. Sauerland's ex-wife Ulla Jahn, who hosts a popular talk show, gives Chief Inspector Borowski and Inspector Sarah Brand a hint about the dead man's gay double life. What interest does state politician Karl Martin von Treunau have in his relationship with the dead man?hide? A contact sheet with photos from the 1980s puts Borowski on an old track. 25 years ago, Schleswig-Holstein Prime Minister Uwe Barschel died in a hotel in Geneva. Apparently Dirk Sauerland was there at the same time. What did he discover back then, and why did Sauerland have to die today? Sarah Brand throws herself full of zeal into researching the Barschel case. Borowski prefers to remain a realist. Then suddenly a witness from Geneva appears.
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.
