The Breakdown explores central themes of justice and guilt. In this comedy by Friedrich Dürrenmatt, Alfredo Traps, following a car breakdown, interrupts his journey and finds shelter with a retired judge. Along with his retired colleagues, they re-enact famous trials for leisure during an extravagant dinner. This culminates in a fictional trial where Traps, convinced of his innocence, faces his past under new scrutiny.
