The whole movie revolves around the actor being kidnapped by no name. He was kept alone in a confinement room. Someone regularly gave him dumplings every day. Through TV, he knew that he was framed as the murderer of his wife. However, the daughter survived.
For the sake of his daughter, he gave up drinking and exercised hard every day. This lasted for 20 years before he was released.
With the help of a good friend and a beautiful woman, the real culprit was finally found. He was the older brother of the girl in an incest scandal that he had been in college before. It was because of his youth and ignorance that the girl's family broke up, and his father couldn't stand the scandal and shot and killed the whole family. The boss behind the scenes survived with scars. In order to retaliate, he planned the whole thing.
What's more exciting is that the protagonist never asked the question about why he came out, and he answered at the end. The daughter on the secret room TV is fake, and her real daughter is the beauty who helped her all the way and had a relationship with her. The protagonist can’t accept this kind of incestuous relationship, or confess his previous mistakes, or because the reality has been broken, he wants to live in the world for the past 20 years to find his own daughter. In the end, he chooses to pay for it and come back again. To the secret room of imprisonment.
