Philosophy student Andre Sevrais attends a Catholic boys’ school in pre-World War II Paris, where he becomes fast friends with a younger schoolmate named Souplier. But this close friendship does not go unobserved by the Abbot de Pradts.
The French title La Ville dont le Prince est un Enfant is taken from the Biblical text of Ecclesiastes 10:16 "Woe to the land whose king is a child." The limited action and long speeches in the film betray its origins in a play, but the director has managed to provide some variation in the locations of various scenes.
