STORY :
Lee Yong-go is a mentally ill father living with
his six-year-old daughter Ye-seung. One day, he gets into a
physical altercation with the police commissioner, who has just purchased the
last Sailor Moon backpack for his daughter, a gift Yong-go was
saving up to buy for Ye-seung. Soon after, the police commissioner's daughter
dies in a freak accident, in which she slips on ice and suffers a fatal blow to
the back of her head while she is taking Yong-go to another store that sells
the same backpack. When he tries to rescue a woman witnesses him and
mistakes him to be molesting her. Yong-go is falsely accused of the abduction,
murder, and rape of a minor. The police quickly take advantage of his
disability and force him to admit to the crimes, while ignoring exonerating
evidence. Yong-go is imprisoned and assigned to Cell No. 7, the harshest cell
in prison.
At first, the other men in the cell, led by gang leader So
Yang-ho, do not take kindly to Yong-go after reading in his file that he
murdered and molested a child. However, when Yong-go saves Yang-ho from being
fatally stabbed by a rival gang leader, Yang-ho repays the favor by bringing
Ye-seung into Cell No. 7. The Cell No. 7 inmates slowly befriend Yong-go and
believe that he is a good man who just happened to be in the wrong place at the
wrong time. They help Yong-go rehearse his trial. Eventually, even the head
prison warden, Jang Min-hwan, who is initially harsh to Yong-go but softens up
when the latter saves him from an arson attack, realizes that Yong-go is merely
cornered into admitting a false guilt. He takes custody of Ye-seung and allows
her to visit her father every afternoon. Try to watch this movie as it
shows a love story between a father and a daughter. I swear you will not be
able to watch this movie without flowing tears.
