Es lebe der Tod

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 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.

Sudden cardiac arrest at the age of 29: Anna Schneider collapses in broad daylight on the street in front of her café. The Dresden police investigators Karin Gorniak and Leonie Winkler convince their boss Schnabel to start the investigation into this mysterious death, although the forensic doctor Jonathan Himpe wants to rule out poisoning. They found out that Anna Schneider had recently filed a criminal complaint against an unknown stalker. In addition to the psychological distress, the victim has recently suffered severe physical pain. Every touch, no matter how small, made her flinch. Gorniak is alarmed: She too has had pain attacks for a few days that she cannot explain. The public medical officer cannot determine a medical cause. The detective chief inspector did not know Anna Schneider, but feels that she is being followed by an invisible person. Could there be a connection between the two women?
