Viol, défi de justice
Since the #Metoo movement in 2017, rape complaints have doubled. Challenged, how does the justice system deal with this word? Thanks to exceptional authorization, director Marie Bonhommet was able to follow a trial at the criminal court in Nantes. Four years earlier, on a summer evening, two young men aged 18 and 22 had a sexual relationship. A rape, according to the plaintiff. Consensual intercourse, pleads the accused. In the absence of evidence and witnesses, it's word against word. How will the magistrates form their own convictions? Over the course of two days, five judges will listen to parents, relatives, investigators, experts and lawyers as they chart the course of two ordinary lives whose trajectories were turned upside down during an ordinary party.
