La Ville dont le prince est un enfant is a 1997 made for television film adapted from 1955 play by French dramatist Henry de Montherlant of the same title.
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.

Jeanne Kern enseigne l'histoire dans un cours privé mixte. Volontiers provocante, elle n'ignore pas l'effet qu'elle produit sur les hommes. Les lycéens, surtout mademoiselle Zanon qui vient d'arriver dans l'établissement, les collègues et même le directeur, Bruno Ketti, sont sous le charme. Ce dernier éprouve même pour la jeune femme une passion déraisonnée. Un jour, une lettre anonyme, dénonçant les mœurs lesbiennes de Jeanne, parvient sur le bureau de Ketti. Les missives se succèdent, bientôt suivies de photos compromettantes de parties fines, adressées au directeur, aux enseignants et aux parents d'élèves. Sur les clichés, le visage de l'une des jeunes femmes nues a été découpé, et tout laisse penser que l'inconnue n'est autre que Jeanne. Celle-ci se trouve alors au centre de toutes les attentions et doit affronter le scandale. Dans une situation inconfortable, entre les rapprochements insistants de Ketti, les railleries des élèves et les plaintes des parents, elle gagne la sympathie du professeur de mathématiques, Laurent.

The movie The Toy talks about a little boy that’s trying to prove his father wrong by acting exactly like him. His father “buys” people and nothing can stop him from getting what he wants. His son does not see why he cannot do the same and decides to buy a man, who he encountered at the toy shop. The man he chose happened to be a journalist at his father’s newspaper. Gradually with the help of his “toy” the boy manages to prove his father’s wrong deeds by exposing them in the newspaper produced by him and his “toy”. Along this journey the boy establishes warm relationships with the man and refuses to stay with his father any longer. The message behind the story is that love matters more than money.
