The crime television series TATORT was created in the 70s as a coproduction of the ARD and ORF. Since then they screen approximately 30 episodes per year, shot at various locations in Austria and Germany.

Our episode was entirely shot on location, in 4 villages and 2 towns in the Tirol, telling the story of a mayor and hotel owner and his adopted daughter, who are suddenly haunted by their history: A dead body had been found in the local lake - the person turns out to be her real father who had disappeared 15 years ago.

It was very exciting to learn from the forensic specialists at the Gerichtsmedizin Innsbruck whilst researching how a body decomposes in certain types of water and circumstances over 15 years.
