When Helga Landowsky discovers the broken jug in an antiques store near the German/Polish border, she wants to have it at any cost. But the old lady has reckoned without Jakub Lato. Because the antiquarian does not want to trade his ware for money. In exchange for the jug, he wants Helga to tell him a story. And a story she can tell. It is an experience from the second world war. A story about pain and loss. And while Helga is still narrating, she and Jakub begin to realize that both their lives are wondrously interwoven. And that they are now, almost 70 years later, telling the story's last chapter together. Because only this way, the story can finally become a good story. (Cinemax)

I had exactly the same experience with this German short movie like with another German short movie, Border Patrol. What started as at first glance an ordinary story, developed during 19 minutes into a downright good story with an excellent punchline. Watching it is definitely worth those 19 minutes!
