Rein legally speaking, the case seems to be a trivial matter. It concerns property damage and the clarification of damage claims. Marthe Rull accuses Ruprecht, her son-in-law to be, of having been in the chamber of her daughter Eve against their agreement and having knocked a jug off the ledge there. In any case, she personally found Ruprecht in the chamber. Ruprecht, on the other hand, claims it was a third person who broke the jug. He saw this person flee through the window. One statement stands against another. One might consider settling the matter quickly. For Adam, the experienced judge, it is actually a routine case. But Marthe Rull’s complaint is not so easily dismissed. After all, there is a reliable witness: Eve. However, she remains conspicuously silent. Not least because, on that day, Judicial Councillor Walter, who is "on revision duty in the offices," is present during the interrogation. Eve hopes that Walter will see through the village judge's trickery. However, when he ultimately confirms Adam's error in judgment, Eve resolutely takes the floor. – As unmistakably as the BROKEN JUG deals with the Fall, the lost paradise, dreams and deception, and does so in a very serious sense, a skilled author in the comedic genre skillfully pulls the strings here at the same time.
