Michel Racine (Fabrice Luchini) is a judge. We shall decide in a very difficult case. Public opinion has already issued its judgment, but Michel wants to investigate the matter further. He feels that this time has to do with the case, which is not as simple as it seems. Devoted work does not think about anything else.

The situation is complicated when during the process of the jurors see Ditta (SIDS Babett Knudsen), which once met. They had not seen each other for years, both in the lives of many had time to change. Ditte has a daughter several years and stands at a crossroads in life.

The meeting of these two becomes an excuse for the director to recall that the old love does not rust. And also to pay attention to that arketing judgments lies in the hands of people who have their weaknesses and problems. Because under the influence of both recurrence feelings on the matter will look different. Courtroom drama poignantly connects here with the love story. Only if love proves to be the heroes fighting for justice fair?
