Weekend in Berlin: party-goers and party-goers roam the wintry streets in search of an unforgettable night. A young woman uses a dating app to find a suitable date in the couple Dennis Ziegler (Vito Sack) and Julia Hoff (Milena Kaltenbach). The next morning, a body is found near Dennis' apartment. Her face is disfigured, making identification impossible. A missing persons report and a subsequent DNA comparison reveal to the inspectors Nina Rubin (Meret Becker) and Robert Karow (Mark Waschke) that the dead person is the medical student Sophia Bader. When Rubin and Karow bring the news of death to Marianne (Andreja Schneider) and Helmut Bader (Rainer Reiners), the parents deny that the dead woman is their daughter and deny that she used dating portals. To the surprise of the inspectors, Dennis Ziegler and Julia Hoff appear at the police station. They explain that they broke up the same evening after consensual sex with Sophia. But Dennis doesn't seem innocent. A thick police file bears witness to allegations of arson, assault and rape. But he was never convicted. The suspicion quickly arises that his parents - the patrol officer Doris (Jule Böwe) and the security expert Claus Ziegler (Andreas Döhler) - have repeatedly managed to pull their son's neck out of the noose. And again the parents' fingers seem to be involved, the investigators run into a wall. Rubin and Karow have to use drastic methods to break through the psychogram of the Ziegler family - and to understand why Sophia's parents so vehemently deny their daughter's death.
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.
