Justine is fed up with the constant fighting between her parents and is convinced that they would be happier apart. With the help of her friends, she decides to divorce them, but is it really the best option?

Justine, 12, has a head full of ideas and two loyal friends. Since her everyday life mostly involves observing her parents' disagreements, the girl takes matters into her own hands and decides to act. Maybe everyone would be better off if her parents split up? With her gang, Justine decides to make the most of the upcoming school talent competition and put up a theatrical performance – a court case demonstrating her parents' divorce. How will the trial end? What will the characters discover as they prepare and gather professional evidence? It's a humorous and compassionate story about the courage to say what you feel and being mindful of what others tell you.

Did you know that… the Youth Division where Justine goes really exists? It works under the Montreal court and deals with topics related to the protection of the rights of children and young people.
