Overview
After a nocturnal surf session on the wave in Munich's Eisbach, Mikesch (Andreas Lust) falls victim to a knife attack. He survives badly injured. Mikesch was a close friend of Leitmayr (Udo Wachtveitl) in the early 1980s. Together with the Dutchwoman Frida (Ellen ten Damme), the three of them spent an exciting summer on the beach in the Portuguese fishing village of Nazaré. Shortly thereafter, Franz broke off contact with both of them without a word. When he now, decades later, meets Mikesch again, the whole past is suddenly close again. Batic (Miroslav Nemec) is astonished about his friend as well as about the oddball Mikesch, who escapes from the hospital instead of cooperating with the police. Mikesch has to deal with a deal that the police are interfering with.
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.
