Storyline
| Plot Summary |
The story takes place before World War II in a Catholic boys' school in Paris, where the friendship between bright philosophy student André Sevrais (Naël Marandin) and his younger schoolmate Souplier (Clément 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). Written by Ferry Silitonga |
