What happens

Génial, mes parents divorcent ! est un film français réalisé par Patrick Braoudé, sorti en 1991. Julien, dont les parents viennent de se séparer, vit très mal cette situation, au point d'inventer un départ de son père à l'étranger pour une association humanitaire. Son copain Thomas, lui-même enfant de divorcés, essaye pourtant de lui remonter le moral en lui exposant les différents côtés positifs que peut lui apporter un divorce. Par la suite, dans la classe de CM2 des deux garçons, deux clans naîtront : celui des enfants de divorcés et les autres. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
