| The Fire That Burns SYNOPSIS A very intense and controversial story of a priest who scrutinizes the close friendship and romance of two young boys in a highly-religious, regulated Catholic school. A richly textured drama, The Fire That Burns is based on the novel “The Land 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 André Sevrais (Naël Marandin) and his younger schoolmate Souplier (Clément 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).
