Shooting Begins on New Göttingen NDR "Tatort"

Maria Furtwängler and Florence Kasumba are before the cameras for their second joint NDR "Tatort": detectives Charlotte Lindholm and Anaïs Schmitz become caught in a web of secret brain research, the arms industry and the Military Counterintelligence Service. "Tatort: Krieg im Kopf" (working title) is being shot from 13 August to 12 September in and around Göttingen as well as in Hamburg. Jobst Oetzmann directs from a screenplay by Christian Jeltsch, both winners of the Grimme Prize. Das Erste is expected to broadcast the new Göttingen "Tatort" in the first half of 2020.The new case begins for Charlotte Lindholm and Anaïs Schmitz with a terrible situation: an unknown man overpowers Charlotte Lindholm, holds a knife to her throat and rambles about "voices in his head" and someone hunting him. As the situation escalates, Anaïs Schmitz must decide in a split second: kill the man or risk Charlotte's life ... The further investigation leads the two detectives to a body and to the aftermath of an apparently failed German army deployment in Mali.Other cast members include Victoria Trauttmansdorff (Professor Leyh), Joachim Bißmeier (Professor Bloch), Hendrik Heutmann (Dr Gottlieb), Matthias Lier (Benno Vegener), Julius Nitschkoff (Josch Vegener), Katharina Schlothauer (Susanne Bortner), Steven Scharf (Alfred Neumann), Anna-Isabel Hinz (Maike Vegener), Daniel Donskoy (Nick Schmitz), Luc Feit (Gerd Liebig), Jonas Minthe (Leon Ciaballa) and Roland Wolf (Jochen Kunkel).The producer is Iris Kiefer (filmpool fiction GmbH); line producer Annette Köster; cinematography: Volker Tittel.
