00:00This little girl is late every day. The teacher decides to visit her parents,
00:03but the girl leads the teacher to a prison. The teacher is stunned. It turns out the only family
00:07the girl has is locked up here. He is the girl's father. The teacher wants to talk to the father,
00:11but the father's intelligence is only that of a six-year-old. This is a case of wrongful
00:15accusation. The man is not very smart, but he loves his daughter deeply. The police know he
00:19wants to go home and take care of his daughter, so they trick him by saying he can go home if
00:23he confesses. He confesses. At the first trial the court sentences him to death. The man is sent
00:27to prison. When the warden hears about the man's crime, he beats him violently, and locks him in
00:32the most dangerous cell number seven. Inside are five vicious criminals, among them are swindlers
00:36robbers and bullies. The leader is even more ruthless. When the leader sees a newcomer, he
00:40tells the man to sing a song. The moment the man opens his mouth, the leader realizes he is mentally
00:44disabled. What crime could someone like that commit? The inmates snatch the man's verdict.
00:48After seeing such a horrible crime, they beat him again. From then on he is isolated by everyone.
00:53He often squats alone in a corner, writing his daughter's name over and over with a twig,
00:57until one day, the man sees a strange inmate. He keeps sharpening a toothbrush. The end of the
01:01toothbrush becomes sharper and sharper. The leader then takes the toothbrush and stands up.
01:05He leads his men toward the leader of cell number seven. Seeing this the man quickly gets up. He and
01:09the attacker rush toward the unaware leader. The leader is knocked to the ground. The man takes
01:13the blow for him. The leader finishes off the attacker in a few moves. The guards arrive. Later when
01:18the man returns to the cell, the younger inmates kindly lay out his bed. The leader softens and says,
01:22he will grant the man one wish. Under everyone's expectant gaze, the man says his daughter's
01:27name. He wants the leader to bring his daughter inside. Smuggling a living child into a prison.
01:31How is that possible? But the leader has been in the underworld for many years. He must keep his
01:35word. Soon he plans a precise operation. It happens during a choir performance. The man's daughter
01:40mixes in with the children. Soon someone leads her away. A prisoner hides her in a cardboard box,
01:44and secretly delivers her to cell number seven. The inmates open the box. The little girl is curled up
01:49inside. She looks around curiously. Soon she spots her father in the corner. She calls out excitedly.
01:54The man crawls over in excitement. He hugs his daughter tightly. The girl complains about his
01:58long disappearance, and not telling her anything. The man apologizes again and again. He says he is
02:03sorry for making her worry. At that moment, one inmate gets scared. If they are caught he will be
02:08punished. So he calls the guards to turn himself in. The girl cries and begs him not to. The others
02:12try to stop him. But the guard still walks over. Everyone freezes. They stare nervously at the man.
02:17The moment the man begins to speak. The girl hiding behind the bed grabs his hand. Her tearful eyes
02:22pleat desperately. The man lowers his head to look at her. The girl shakes her head. The man gives up.
02:26Everyone breathes a sigh of relief. After the guard leaves, the girl runs into the man's arms.
02:31This time she does not cry out loud. She asks her father if he is a bad person. The man says,
02:35they are all bad people except your dad. This is the first time the others feel ashamed.
02:39At that moment, something unexpected happens. Because the choir finishes early. Everyone boards the bus to
02:44leave. The girl can no longer sneak out with them. She has to stay for now. The man and the girl are happy.
02:49But the others are anxious. Every day they gather to think of ways to sneak the girl out.
02:53And deal with surprise inspections. But they never regret bringing her in.
02:56The cold cell. Is now full of laughter every day. The once hardened criminals. Are now happier than
03:01ever. They even dance with the girl. But happy days never last. The warden discovers the girl.
03:05He drags the man outside the cell. It is raining heavily. The man begs him to wait until the rain
03:09stops before sending the girl away. The warden grabs him by the collar and throws him to the ground.
03:13The man keeps repeating that he did not kill anyone. But he receives another beating.
03:17He is put in solitary confinement. The other inmates are punished as well.
03:21News of an outsider in the prison spreads. One prisoner causes trouble. He steals gasoline
03:25and sets the cell on fire. He demands that the guards bring his father into prison.
03:28The warden goes to talk to him. Seeing the fire grow. He agrees to the man's request.
03:32But the man never had a father inside. He only wanted to vent his anger.
03:36All inmates are evacuated. Only the arsonist refuses to leave. The desperate warden rushes into the fire
03:41to save him. Everyone else flees in panic. No one notices the warden is trapped.
03:44The man passing by sees it. He rushes into the flames without hesitation.
03:48The next day. The warden wakes up in a hospital bed. The doctor says he would be dead.
03:52If someone had not risked their life to save him. And that person is the man he judged unfairly.
03:56The warden begins to doubt. Could someone this kind really be a killer?
03:59Later with the teacher's help. The girl visits her father. The moment he sees her.
04:03He notices she has lost weight. He tells her to eat more. The two sit across the glass unwilling to part.
04:08They talk endlessly about little things. But visiting time ends quickly.
04:11The guards drag the man away. The girl pounds on the glass in grief. The warden sees all of this.
04:16The love between father and daughter cannot be faked. Could such a loving man commit such a crime?
04:20After the visit. The girl is admitted to the hospital. The warden visits her. The girl cries
04:24and asks. Can you let me stay in prison too? She would rather be locked up than leave her father.
04:28Hearing this the warden walks out. He makes a bold decision. That day. Cell number 7 receives a gift.
04:34The man stares at the big box muttering his daughter's name. The leader says the man must miss her too much.
04:38The next second. The girl jumps out of the box. The man hugs her tightly. The guard smiles and
04:43says it is the warden's idea. The stern warden. Is softer than anyone. Laughter returns to cell
04:47number 7. The inmates become loving uncles. They tell the girl stories. The leader even starts
04:52studying. Everyone is moved by the father and daughter. Things begin to change for the better.
04:56Later the man goes to thank the warden. As he leaves the warden calls out. He asks why the man killed
05:01someone. The man does not know how to answer. How can someone with his mind explain himself?
05:04The warden decides to investigate. He retrieves the man's confession. It is written clearly.
05:09Not something a disabled person could write. At the same time. The inmates of cell number 7.
05:14Investigate the girl's real cause of death. Using the man's account. They recreate the scene.
05:18And discover the truth. Later the warden tells the chief about the doubts. He asks for a retrial.
05:23Soon the man gets his final trial. It is his last chance. The inmates write him a statement.
05:27And make him practice it over and over. They test him every day. Afraid he will say something wrong.
05:31Finally the day of the trial arrives. No one expected. That when questioned. The man admits
05:36to everything. The crowd explodes in anger. The teacher covers the girl's ears. So she cannot
05:40hear the verdict. The man keeps apologizing in court. He begs the judge to help his daughter.
05:44It turns out. The day before the trial. The chief beat him. And threatened him. If you do not confess.
05:50Your daughter will end up like mine. The man understands. To protect his daughter. He must confess.
05:54The verdict is as expected. But no one wants to accept it. They unite the entire prison.
05:58And plan a massive escape. Everyone participates. That day. The teacher brings the entire class
06:03to perform. The children's innocent singing echoes. As if washing away all sins. When the
06:08song ends. The children leave the stage. Holding hands with the inmates. The girl holds
06:12her father's hand at the front. The gates open. Outside is a giant hot air balloon. The inmates
06:16built it overnight. They help the man and the girl onto the balloon. And release it. As the balloon
06:21rises. The man and the girl wave goodbye. The guards finally realize something is wrong.
06:24They rush to stop it. But the inmates block them. Chaos erupts. But then. The rope of
06:29the balloon gets caught on the fence. The balloon hangs in the air. Everyone freezes. Their plan
06:33has failed. Only the man and the girl look calmly at the sunset. They can only enjoy this
06:37moment. On the day of execution. It is the girl's birthday. Everyone forces a smile as
06:42they give her gifts. The girl smiles and accepts them. Last comes her father's gift. A backpack
06:46she always wanted. The girl stands and says. Thank you for bringing me into this world.
06:50She kneels down and bows. The man kneels to and says. Thank you for becoming my daughter.
06:54He reaches out. They hug tightly. After her birthday. The girl says goodbye to everyone
06:58with a smile. The man says three thank yous. Thank you for everything. He takes the girl's
07:02hand and walks out. Behind them are the words written by the inmates. Their names. Their
07:06final blessing. A metal gate stops the man and the girl. They begin to say goodbye. The
07:10girl's eyes are full of hope for the future. She looks forward to seeing her father again.
07:14The man's eyes are full of sorrow. He knows this is the last time. The guards take him
07:18away. At the corner. He makes a funny face at the girl. She smiles and says goodbye.
07:22But after a few steps he collapses. The girl waits behind the bars. Hoping her father will
07:26jump out like before. But he does not. She becomes anxious. She calls out loudly for
07:31her father. Her cries. Shatter the man's last bit of courage. There is something more terrifying
07:35than death. Never being able to watch your child grow up. He rushes back and hugs her. Crying
07:39endlessly. No one can save him this time. The warden sheds silent tears. The inmates listen
07:44to the cries in silence. Not all kindness is rewarded. This angelic father. Leaves his daughter
07:48forever. Later the warden adopts the girl. So she can grow up in love. Years later. The
07:53girl becomes a lawyer. Just as her father wished. But she never forgets his injustice.
07:57She finds the uncles of cell number 7. And the warden. They all testify for the man. She
08:01lists evidence piece by piece. Repeating her father's innocence. Through tears and sorrow.
08:06She succeeds. The judge declares the man innocent. After 15 years his name is cleared. The girl
08:10looks up at the falling snow. In a day she sees the father and daughter in the hot air balloon.
08:14They smile and wave at her. Justice may be delayed. But it never disappears. The father
08:18in the film left too early. It is a regret for the girl. But she is also lucky. Because
08:22the love he left her. Is the greatest treasure. Enough to support her for a lifetime.
