The film of the play Sweet Justice available on USB memory stick (FR/EN/DE)

Raising awareness about mediation in an informative and entertaining way!

SWEET JUSTICE is an original theatre production, inspired by real-life mediation cases and punctuated by educational commentaries.
GENEVACCORD ADR is giving you the opportunity to watch the play, or to revisit it, at home. Go to the very heart of conflict mediation, to unravel its mysteries.

This stage adaptation of a mediation case is designed both to appeal to laymen and to convince potential advocates of the power of win-win logic. The play does not aim to impose a single model for delivering mediation, or to constitute a training course. It aims to demonstrate the benefits, so there can at last be a shift in attitudes towards restorative justice in Europe and in the French-speaking world, for the benefit of the whole profession.

SWEET JUSTICE is both a call for greater understanding of mediation and a very useful educational tool for all who use it, whether novices or initiates: students, mediators, lawyers, solicitors, judges, company directors, human resource professionals, trainers and policy makers.

Synopsis

A private conflict between an amicably divorced couple becomes complicated by harassment, especially as the former spouses, a cardiologist and a gynaecologist, work at the same clinic.

Finding no option but to leave the practice, the cardiologist finds his plan to leave thwarted by a non‑competition clause. Private and professional differences become intertwined. How can this triangular situation, full of surprises and ambiguities, be resolved?

This is where a mediator intervenes in the role of facilitator. His mission is to draw out what has not been said, show the parties do have agreement on their disagreement and, using great creativity, reach a win-win solution for all parties and their lawyers. You will be able to watch this open heart mediation take place. Will the cardiologist's heart hold out?

The play is performed in French and the film includes German and English subtitles.
