One thing is for sure: head high or low, victims rarely come out unscathed. Victims are often told that they should just file a complaint. But what if it’s not that simple? In this intimate and emotional documentary, Léa meets those who, in addition to saying “me too”, have taken this path of the cross. The goal is to give the microphone to those whose voices have been silenced by the justice system. How do they fare in practice? Guided by the experience of Léa who filed a complaint for a sexual assault suffered at the age of 17 during her first student job, T’as juste à porter plainte is punctuated by interviews with other victims and legal experts.
