| Inhaltsangabe | Synopsis IMDBThere is a point in every human being when they are lonely. Lisa Brenner knew him. When her body is found one gray morning in front of a high-rise building, having fallen from the twelfth floor, she leaves behind a number of men who adored and loved her. Lisa was so close and devoted to all of them that in the end nobody knew if he was really meant. The number of suspects grows suddenly. Apparently Lisa wasn't alone drinking champagne on her balcony. Still, the neighborhood didn't hear a cry. Police find large cash deposits in Lisa Brenner's account but no employer. The first clues lead to Harry Riedeck, an elderly man with helper syndrome, who was familiar with Lisa's insurance and regularly shopped for her. With the support of the new assistant Kalli Hammermann, Batic also interrogates the other men who were in regular contact with Lisa: Hansen, a former Hamburg hockey star, Lischke, a bank employee and many a respectable father. At the same time, Leitmayr bites deeper and deeper into the case, which leads him more and more to the limits of himself. Two days later, Riedeck was found brutally murdered in the basement of his house. Unlike Lisa, whose death happened silently and almost invisibly, Riedeck was killed with forty hammer blows. Case analyst Christine Lerch is puzzled as to where the connection between the two victims lies for the perpetrator, if it was the same person. And what could it be that someone with such unbridled violence needed to get rid of? A tricky case that plunges a Munich brewery owner into a disaster and deeply shakes the trust between Leitmayr and Batic.Synopsis TMDBTatort 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 up to date.
Each of the regional TV channels which 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. |
