A very touching movie about a mentally challenged father who is inexplicably involved in a murder and is locked up in prison cell No. 7. His pure and simple heart touches his fellow inmates, who take the risk of bringing his young daughter into the cell to meet her father.
Inside the dark and cold prison cell, cell #7 is full of sunshine.
All the scenes of the two together were full of warmth and touching, making the audience shed a lot of tears.
The youngest daughter’s acting was just too good.

In 1997, Lee Yong-goo (Ryu Seung-ryong), a mentally handicapped man with the IQ of a 6-year-old child, and his lovely daughter Yea-seong (Geum So-won) live a simple and poor but happy life together.
One day, Ryu-gu, who is obsessed with buying his daughter an American Girl Warrior book bag, is accidentally involved in a child abduction, rape and murder case, in which the deceased is the daughter of the police chief.
Ryugu is so ignorant and confused that he is thrown into jail.
In cell number 7, there are all the “dregs of society” such as smuggler So Yang-ho (Oh Dal-soo), swindler Choi Chun-ho (Park Won-sang), adulterer Kang Man-bum (Kim Jung-tae), intimidator Seo (Kim Ki-chan), and robber Shin Bong-sik (Jung Man-sik).
Yong Goo’s childlike innocence gradually touches the hearts of these “big bads”, and they even take the risk of bringing Yea Seong into the cell to meet his father.
