Overview

A man's body is found in the harbor. Liv Moormann (Jasna Fritzi Bauer) and Linda Selb (Luise Wolfram) find out: The dead man (Markus Knüfken) was a doctor – and what a doctor! A do-gooder, a Samaritan, one who treated the town's poor pro bono, a helper with great ideals. And now he lies here, executed, on a dusty harbor quay - run over and with his skull crushed in. What is the secret behind the brutal act? Whose anger and hate has been vented here? At first, no motive is recognizable, the traces in the vicinity of the dead run into nothing. Moormann and Selb investigate meticulously and find a number of suspects: the medical assistant Kirsten Beck (Lisa Jopt), the activists Ann Gelsen and Vicky Aufhoven (Anna Bachmann and Franziska von Harsdorf) andCharlotte Aufhoven (Karoline Eichhorn), the boss of a once posh family business. They all have a lot to hide because they have a lot to lose. The crew of a freighter anchored next to the scene of the crime also remains silent. That's the job for the Dane Mads Andersen (Dar Salim), who tries to hire on the freighter and get more information that way. But this time he cannot convince either the captain or the crew - the situation escalates and Mads Andersen is in serious danger. He also has his own battle against shadows from the past. This "crime scene" negotiates the relationship between a sense of duty and happiness in life, deals with guilt and atonement and is a plea for the inner freedom of each individual.

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.
