7 Years
Series: New Directors/New Films [March 21 - April 1 2007]
Director: Jean-Pascal Hattu, Country: France, Release: 2006, Runtime: 86

Waiting to visit her husband in prison, Maïté is approached by Jean, an attractive young man. Although deeply in love with her husband, she is also lonely and yearning for some kind of physical connection, so she eventually gives in to Jean’s advances. Then she discovers that Jean is, in fact, a guard at the very prison where her husband Vincent is being held. Director Jean-Pascal Hattu based 7 Years on stories he collected from women involved with men who were doing time, creating this multi-layered look at people trying to get by while waiting for their sentences to expire.

Jean-Pascal Hattu studied at l’Université Paris-Sorbonne and has worked as a journalist and an assistant director under André Techiné. 7 Years is his feature film debut.
