Whose king is a child) by prolific, French novelist and dramatist Henry de Montherlant. The story takes place before World War II in a Catholic boys' school in Paris, where the friendship between bright philosophy student Andre Sevrais (Nael Marandin) and his younger schoolmate Souplier (Clement van den Bergh of Class Trip) arouses the jealousy of the Abbot de Pradts (Christophe Malavoy), who is secretly in the thrall of young Souplier. De Pradts lays a trap for Sevrais but ends up crushed by his own machinations to the utter disdain of the Father Superior (Michel Aumont of The Closet and Man is a Woman).
