Synopsis:

Presiding judge at Criminal Court, Michel Racine (Fabrice Luchini) is a formidable man. His sobriquet is "The Two Figure Judge", because he always hands down sentences of at least 10 years. But his life takes a dramatic turn when he reunites with Ditte Lorensen-Coteret (Sidse Babett Knudsen) who happens to sit on the jury for a homicide trial. Six years ago the two developed a special friendship, leading to love. But these are dangerous times and for a high profile judge, fraternisation is simply not an option. What is a judge supposed to do? Follow his heart or rule with his head. His is a complex dilemma of cruel and distracting emotions, where nothing is simply black or white and where guilt or innocence is just a gavel strike away.

If you have to go to court, you pray not to have to appear before Michel Racine, an awfully ruthless judge. Unfortunately for him, this is what happens to Martial Beclin, a man accused of kicking to death his baby daughter. And you can easily guess what his feelings are on the first day of his trial. But neither Martial nor Michel knows it yet: this time, things may turn out differently. Why? Because judge Racine stops being himself the moment he recognizes among the jurors Ditte, a woman doctor he has been secretly for a couple of years...

Michel Racine is a feared president of Assize Court, as strict with himself as with others. Everything changes when he meets again Ditte when she's selected as a juror in a criminal trial over which he presides.
