The 17-year-old girl was locked in a secret room for 7 years by the criminals, and finally escaped and ascended to heaven with the help of her 5-year-old son. This film is based on the Austrian secret room incest case, but is unwilling to embark on the suspenseful and thrilling routine of "Shaunke's Redemption", which is an inspirational escape from prison. The director ambitiously turns it into a film about growing up. After the escape, the story has just begun. : 5-year-old Tongsheng and Changyu in the secret room, under the protection of his mother, he completely accepted that where he is is the whole world, he drives a submarine in the toilet, projects Luan Feiyu on the wall, the ceiling above his head is the sky, and the square window is The sun, never need to think about what is beyond the world. When he is thrown into the face of reality, the difficulty he needs to overcome is huge but simple - to recognize and accept the world that has suddenly grown up. As long as the homeopathic growth, the miracle of life can be expected. On the contrary, it is much more complicated and difficult for the mother's world to be reorganized: 7 years of experience of coexisting with horror, pain and despair have severely bruised her mother. She is trapped in anger, regret and injustice. Severe trauma caused her to stop growing. She was trapped at the age of 17. Although she returned to freedom, she has been behind bars. The movie finally uses body temperature as a good medicine for spiritual healing. The mother's bad teeth and the son's broken hair guide each other's lives. This romantic interpretation of the body and skin has become a classic, waiting to be imitated and surpassed again and again.
