In 'Seven Years,' Peter Stamm delves into the intricacies of human desires through the journey of Alex, an architect caught in a tumultuous love triangle. Tied to his ambitious and alluring wife Sonia, Alex finds himself ensnared by the seductive force of a long-past affair with Ivona, a woman who seems to embody simplicity and devotion. As he oscillates between his urbane life with Sonia and the raw passion he feels for Ivona, Alex's emotions become further tangled when an unexpected pregnancy challenges the very foundations of his understanding of love and happiness. 'Seven Years' is a profound examination of the paradoxical nature of human connection, and a candid exploration of the often disquieting quest for fulfillment.
