Girl Joey was deceived by a neighbor and was imprisoned in a small room for seven years. During this period, she was raped and gave birth to her son, Jack. Like all mothers, Joey also tried her best to create a safe and happy atmosphere for the children to grow up in. Although they were trapped in a room less than 10 square meters, they created a magical world for their son through fantasy. But as he grew up day by day, Jack's curiosity made him no longer satisfied with the world, so Joey carefully planned and took Jack out of the room where they were imprisoned. However, after escaping, the mother and son, who had been out of society for too long, realized that the real world was what scared them the most. Jack is a five-year-old boy who has never left the room since the day he was born. He believed that everything in this room was real, and everything else was illusory. But how would Jack react when his mother suddenly told him that there were other real things outside of this room?

    The second half is a little bit worse, and it's still a good story, mainly because the two actors are great. A scene is too teary, crying beyond control.

    The first 50 minutes are fine. Can't my mother study the 4-digit code on the door after 7 years? . .

Room quotes

  • Talk Show Hostess: When he was born, did it... did it ever occur to you to ask your captor to take Jack away?

    Ma: Away?

    Talk Show Hostess: Well, to take him to a hospital, say, leave him there, where he could be found?

    Ma: Why... why would I do that?

    Talk Show Hostess: So Jack could be free. Now, this is the ultimate sacrifice, and I understand that, but did you think about him having a normal childhood?

    Ma: But he had me.

    Talk Show Hostess: Of course he did. But was that the best thing for him?

  • Ma: You know when your Grandma asks you a question? You can answer her. You don't need to say everything to me, okay?
