HOW TO GET MY PARENTS TO DIVORCE

Directed by Sandrine Brodeur-Desrosiers | 83 minutes | Comedy | Toronto Premiere

Justine is about to finish grade six and is tired of her parents fighting all the time. Maybe she'll be happier if they divorce? In order to force their hand, the pre-teen decides to create her own court. The end-of-school-year show is the pretext for this. With her friends, she must find young people from her entourage who will serve as lawyers and judges. When her plan turns into an obsession, her friendships may suffer. Especially since the situation could very well escape her...
