Overview

The 14-year-old Talia surprised a murderer in her house shortly after his crime and thus becomes the most important witness for the investigative team Gorniak, Winkler and Schnabel from Dresden. But the teenager remembers nothing, because since her mother died in an accident a few years ago, Talia has developed a psychological self-protection: If she sees something that emotionally overwhelms her, her consciousness represses what she has seen and changes it into a fictional reality that is less for her seems terrible. Since then she has also been prone to parasomnia - with sleepwalking and violent startlessleep… Gorniak and Schnabel follow further tracks in the neighborhood and meet the Steinmanns and Thomas Blau, who suspect each other. Talia trusts Winkler and leads the investigator into "her world". Together with the inspector, the girl manages to conquer her own fears and overcome her trauma. Talia is now able to give the crucial lead that puts the investigators on the trail of a serial killer who killed several women many years ago in the house where Talia and her father Ben recently moved.

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.
