L'Évangile selon Youri [French]

By Tobie Nathan

An appealing and whimsical psychoanalyst is entrusted with a Romani child appearing to have surprising powers...

Elie is an analyst with rather unorthodox methods who specialises in immigrant communities. Ageing, disenchanted and divorced, he still works at the clinic he has done for decades. Here he meets a new case, young Yuri, a Romani immigrant from Romania who was picked up begging on the streets.
But as soon as professionals try to help the child, strange events start happening. A boy in the same foster home who has an altercation with Yuri falls down the stairs and is left in a coma. Yuri is suspected of having special gifts. Perhaps he reads minds, knows what people are thinking, influences objects with the power of concentration, moves tables, makes the precious stones in necklaces explode...
Elie is a regular client of Samuel, a second-hand clothes dealer who can't stop thinking how weary Elie seems with life. Yuri sets himself up in Elie's apartment and Samuel's shop, and it is in the shop that he performs his first healings. Is the exiled Yuri a new god? What if foreigners, the people we take in, were a gift for us?
