Overview

One night before Christmas, two people are looking for a hostel in Saarbrücken: the heavily pregnant Sicilian Maria secretly left the house of her parents-in-law shortly before she gave birth. Taxi driver Jupp has eloped with his colleagues' Christmas bonus. Maria and Jupp get to know each other when the beautiful Sicilian woman asks the taxi driver to drive her to her grandmother's in Sicily. Meanwhile, Jens Stellbrink and his small team are investigating the events that led to the death of the Saarbrücken taxi driver Theo "Teddy" Diehl . The chubby young man went into reflex cardiac arrest when an unknown perpetrator strangled him with the string of lights that Teddy was about to decorate his Christmas tree with. Stellbrink would like to interview the taxi driver with whom Teddy lived in a two-man flat share: But Jupp has left. On the way to solving the mystery, Stellbrink & Co come across a blackmail affair, a Sicilian family drama, a German marriage drama and a hit-and-run accident.

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.
