Overview
While a funeral feast is taking place in a restaurant for the well-known director of a school for the deaf, a woman dies having sex in the hotel room one floor up. Georg, her sex partner, calls a friend to dispose of the body. He feels unobserved during the phone call in the car, but Ben, a deaf guest at the funeral service, reads the phone conversation from his lips and then tries to find the perpetratorblackmail. After the police have found and identified the body, Chief Inspector Jens Stellbrink and his team first investigate among the guests of the funeral home, who are not connected to the dead person. But when a young woman who is hard of hearing is found murdered, Stellbrink holds the key to the solution because both cases seem to be linked via Ben.
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.
