Overview
14-year-old Amina Halter is found dead in the woods. Reto Flückiger (Stefan Gubser) and Liz Ritschard (Delia Mayer) quickly realize that the dead teenager's family environment was more than complicated: the biological father, Kaspar Vogt (Marcus Signer), a troublemaker and former drug addict; the stepfather, Beat Halter (Oliver Bürgin), the head of a Christian faith community. Two worlds collide - and Amina's mother Ursula (Sarah Spale), who was taken off the street by Halter with her two children, is right in the middle. In the course of their investigations, Flückiger and Ritschard are also confronted with their own past. Then they find out: Amina was three months pregnant, apparently she was abused. According to DNA analysis, paternity is unknown. The question arises: How could something like this happen in this devout community? The fifth Swiss "Tatort" is about family ideology and faith. Reto Flückiger and Liz Ritschard investigate the complex network of relationships in a free church community. Director Tobias Ineichen shot the second "Tatort" from Lucerne after "Skalpell".
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.
