19 Boy Eric was imprisoned for crimes. His violent behavior further led to his transfer to an adult prison. He was in a pathologically violent situation and could not control his emotions at all. His father was also serving his sentence in this prison. His father left him when he was five years old. Deep down in his heart, he still yearned for his father's love. At the same time, his father cared for him deeply. It's just that the violent father and son can't express their emotions normally. The entire film is also full of violence, almost every line contains words starting with F.

Eric quickly used a toothbrush and a razor to make a weapon for himself on the first day in prison. During the meal, there was friction with the cook who was also a criminal. When he first let out the wind, his father warned him to pay attention to his words and deeds, not to offend others, and strive to leave here as soon as possible.

When the prisoner in the opposite cell borrowed a lighter from him, he beat him violently. Worried that he would be killed, he carried him to the infirmary. Faced with such violent behavior, the police immediately rounded up, and when he resisted, he controlled the police twice.

In confinement, his father once again warned him that such behavior would not benefit him. If he was too violent and the prison could not control him, the prison would hang him and pretend to commit suicide. He still hopes that his son can leave here soon.

On his father’s suggestion, the prison authorities agreed to join him in an existing conversation group initiated by a prisoner. Several people who signed up voluntarily gathered together to talk regularly to relieve violent tendencies and learn emotional control.

It seems that a large part of this prison is self-made by prisoners. The cook is the prisoner, the tutor is the prisoner, and a prisoner's head is responsible for the basic security of the prison.

This group is not as warm as the similar mutual aid groups that are often seen in American TV dramas. In almost every conversation, everyone will conflict with each other because of words. Eric is also completely resistant to this group.

The chef who began to bond with him finds someone to retaliate against him, and the team members help him out.

Later, I called back and forth several times and participated in group activities several times.

He gradually found a sense of identity in this group. And persuaded his father to join the group. The father decided to give it a try for his son, but he couldn't adapt to the state of the group because his habits were hard to change, and he left in a rage.

Clashes broke out again among the team members. Although the members of the team had taken control on their own, the prison authorities decided to disband the team. Both father and son were locked up.

After the father persuaded the police to release him from the confinement, he asked the head of the prisoner to discuss his son's affairs. But at this time, the prison authorities had decided to kill his son. During the conversation with the prisoner's head, the prisoner's head tried to kill his father, but was eventually stabbed to death by his father.

At this time, the prison authorities had lifted Eric, and the father broke in at the last moment, subdued the police, and rescued his son.

The father was sentenced to death for homicide, and he met his son for the last time. At this time, the father and son gradually felt each other's emotions, and the son also passed the rebellion and began to grow up.
