Much has been reported on the violence against and sexual abuse of children and young people. But what happens when young victims take their own parents to court? This documentary begins where the stories and reports in the tabloid media leave off. It looks for a subjective view into a shattered family situation. It looks for the views of the children and young people who are trying to break out of this situation and who, by taking this drastic step against their parents, are trying to create a chance for their own lives.
