What is the point of remembering that we have experienced hell?
The police arrest a young girl wandering in the street, covered with blood, a knife in her hand. On her way home, the officers discover with terror a scene of massacre: her entire family was murdered... Six years later, Pierre Grimaud, the only survivor of the "slaughter of the Rue des Corneilles", awakened with a deep coma. The 15-year-old boy he was at the time of the incident is now a 21-year-old man. Disoriented, still paralyzed and suffering from partial amnesia, he is taken care of by Dr. Anna Kieffer, a psychologist specializing in criminology and victimology issues. During their sessions, Anna tries to make him remember the circumstances of the tragedy, despite her memory loss. Pierre reminds him of the mysterious presence of a "man in black" who haunts his dreams, a probable unconscious response to his trauma. After several appointments, Anna discovers in Peter a sensitive and very intelligent being. Affected by her story, she even begins to take him into affection. Gradually, a real complicity is established between them. Anna can't imagine how much this patient will change his life...
After the remark These disappearing days, Timothé Le Boucher returns with a work once again testifying to his exemplary narrative science. In a more realistic vein, The Patient is a psychological thriller that takes and surprisingly, hinting at some of the author's favorite themes: the relationship to the other, the notion of "time," identity, and memory.
