Overview

Kiel, just before the opening of the Kiel Week. Everything is preparing for the event of the year. Now, of all times, inspectors Borowski and Brandt are dealing with a particularly puzzling murder case. A young woman who has been insidiously murdered is found in an empty apartment. There is no trace of the perpetrator, who had set himself up at the scene of the crime as if in hiding. When another corpse turns up a little later, it becomes clear that the apparently unscrupulous perpetrator will stop at nothing to return to the anonymity of theto be able to submerge the city. Borowski and Brandt are alarmed: Are they dealing with a serial killer or is the perpetrator covering up an even more perfidious plan? The largest folk festival in the north is now in full swing and this arouses an increasingly outrageous suspicion. Under the pressure of events, the tensions in the investigative team are increasing. While Sarah Brandt wants to put the perpetrator on the hunt and thinks about warning the public, Borowski urges prudence.

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.
