Justine (12) firmly believes that she will be happier if her parents get divorced. The catch? They have no plans to do so. Tired of the arguing at home, Justine decides to use the language of her parents – both lawyers – to finally make herself heard. Surrounded by her group of friends, she creates a "Youth Court" to get what she wants.
