Plot
Storyline
Two boys in their early adolescence in a strictly-run pre-WWII Catholic school form a firm friendship that is troubled by an abbot who is obsessed with the younger boy.
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) 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).
