Letterboxd
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.
La Ville dont le prince est un enfant is a 1997 made-for-television film adapted from a 1951 play by French dramatist Henry de Montherlant of the same title.
Wikipedia
The title, literally translated, The City Where the Prince is a Child, is taken from Ecclesiastes 10:16: “Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning!”
The French-language film was subsequently released in North American markets on DVD in 2004 under the title, The Fire That Burns, similar to the 1977 English language translation of the play produced in 1977 under the title, The Fire that Consumes.
