Original synopsis

Overview

Completely upset, Betti Graf (Cornelia Froboess) appears at the police headquarters with Anna Janneke (Margarita Broich) and Paul Brix (Wolfram Koch). She has been missing her neighbor Mr. Abendroth for days. Nils Engels (Jan Krauter) is particularly suspicious of having done something to him. All three live in their single-family homes in a Wendehammer. Nils is an IT specialist, and as such he has converted the house he inherited from his grandmother into a "smart house". The whole house is equipped with surveillance cameras, it is completely "clean". Everything about his "analogue" neighbors disturbs Nils from the ground up. They in turn blame Nils for the disappearance of various cats and dogs. In fact, Janneke and Brix find traces of blood in Abendroth's house. This could indicate an act of violence. In the meantime, however, the two chief inspectors Janneke and Brix are already deeply involved in the disputes between the Wendehammer residents about the smart, digital and the lively, analogue world.

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.
