Overview

What the French call "Petite Mort" ends fatally in a forest near Nuremberg. Christian Ranstedt, married and father of two children, professor at the University of Erlangen and respected citizen of the city of Nuremberg, was killed by two shots in the head at close range while making love in his car. When the police arrive, both car doors are open. The driver's seat with the dead Ranstedt is pushed back far. The person who was in the car with him has disappeared. Nothing indicates their identity. Ranstedt's wife Julia believed her husband at the university. For her and her two children, a world suddenly collapses that seemed indestructible. Why was Christian Ranstedt murdered? Why in such a spicy moment? And how come whoever was in the car with him survived?

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.
