Tatort: Murot Ventures Into a Comatose Mother’s Mind in Surreal Year-End Case

Critics describe a daring, dreamlike experiment that prioritizes inner-world imagery over classic crime logic.

Overview

  • ARD aired the Wiesbaden episode “Murot und der Elefant im Raum” on December 28 at 20:15, with streaming on the ARD livestream and ARD-Mediathek.
  • After Eva Hütter flees a custody hearing with her five-year-old son and later crashes, she falls into a coma while the child’s location remains unknown.
  • Felix Murot turns to a fictional neurofeedback device built by Dr. Schneider to enter the mother’s consciousness in search of clues.
  • This 14th Murot case features Ulrich Tukur with Barbara Philipp, Nadine Dubois and Robert Gwisdek, with young actor Lio Vonnemann drawing notice.
  • Early reviews highlight bold creativity and strong performances alongside complaints about self-indulgence, loose plotting and limited suspense.
