“Tatort – Elvis is alive” (Saturday, August 22nd, 10:00 pm, ORF 2) With Harald Krassnitzer, Roswitha Szyszkowitz, Gundula Rapsch, Gregor Bloéb, Guntram Brattia, Hannes Spiss, Peter Mitterrutzner and Brigitte Jaufenthaler; Director: Peter Sämann; Production year: 2001
The new police officer Stefanie Gschnitzer (Roswitha Szyszkowitz) takes on her first case at the Innsbruck homicide squad: Richard Stecher, known as a member of a poaching family and enthusiastic Elvis fan, was found dead at the foot of a rock face. Shot, apparently in self-defense, by the hunting tenant and mayor Hopfgartner and his supervisor Buchberger. At the scene of the crime, the policewoman had her first doubts. Moritz Eisner (Harald Krassnitzer) comes to the aid of the young colleague who is trying to keep an impending bloody feud between the Stechers and the village hunters under control. Due to the delicate situation, Moritz Eisner decides to approach the investigations very carefully and investigates undercover:
Disguised as a hunting guest, he mingles with the hunters.
“Tatort – Mord auf Langeoog” (Sunday, August 23, 8:15 p.m., ORF 2 – also as an audio film)
With, among others, Wotan Wilke Möhring, Petra Schmidt-Schaller, Sebastian Schipper, Laura Tonke, Nina Kunzendorf and Rainer Bock; Director: Stefan Kornatz; Production year: 2013
A brutal murder shakes the idyll of the small North Sea island of Langeoog: a dead woman in the dunes, next to her a blood-smeared teenager. Florian (Leonard Carow) is the younger brother of Mimi (Laura Tonke), who moved to her East Frisian homeland together with Thorsten Falkes (Wotan Wilke Möhring) old friend and ex-colleague Jan Katz (Sebastian Schipper) and their baby. Falke, who actually only wanted to relax on the island for a few days, manages to talk to the confused boy at the crime scene. Is Florian a perpetrator or a victim? For the responsible colleagues of the Aurich homicide squad and their head Christine Brandner (Nina Kunzendorf), the case is clear – Florian’s gaps in memory are only a protective claim. But Thorsten Falke sees it differently. Against all service regulations and resistance from local colleagues, Falke and his colleague Katharina Lorenz (Petra Schmidt-Schaller), who was called from Hamburg, investigate on their own in a different direction.
