You should know that there are only two Cannes Best Actress Awards in in Asia, and the other is Maggie Cheung .
OK, let’s talk about movies.
Jingyeon is a very ordinary Korean housewife. She runs a small car repair shop with her husband Zong Pei and gave birth to a lovely daughter named Huilin.
Although it is not as rich as a great man, it is also a very happy thing for a family of three to live together.
Jingyan is kind-hearted and will feel uncomfortable for a long time when stepping on a spider to death. She is also very superstitious. She asked Zong Pei to call his friend Wendao and asked him to come again tomorrow because if he stepped on a spider in the morning, something would happen to the guests who came to his house. .
Zong Pei doesn't believe these.
At this time, several of Zong Pei's old friends came to their home, namely Wendao, Xiuzai and Guangzhi .
Everyone hasn't seen each other for too long. They are very happy while drinking and talking about past events.
during the meal, Xiuzai also did an extra thanks to Zong Pei for helping him .
6 months later.
In the morning, Zong Pei asked Jingyan if Xiuzai had been on the phone. Jingyan was confused and said that she had never received the phone call.
Then, Zong Pei sent his daughter to kindergarten, but Xiuzai suddenly came to the house and said that she suddenly wanted to eat the meal made by her sister-in-law, and then she came.
Jingyan quickly prepared a sumptuous meal for Xiuzai. Seeing Xiuzai swallowing her voraciously, she couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
However, that night, the police found a male body in the suburbs, which was Xiuzai .
Xiuzai committed suicide and left a suicide note to Zong Pei.
In addition to the suicide note, there are also debts of up to 200 million won (about 1.2 million yuan). These are guaranteed in the name of Zong Pei. Xiu Zai died, and all the debts of were transferred to Zong Pei's head .
So, Coben here also reminds everyone not to guarantee anyone, or lend your credit card to others for use. No matter how good your brothers and friends are, it will not work, otherwise it will lead to a very tragic end.
The sudden debt caused this originally not wealthy family to fall into dire straits. Although Jingyan was very angry, she had no choice but to sell her property to pay off her debts. She moved to a rental house and it was difficult since then Live your day.
On this day, Zong Pei took Jingyan to Wendao's company, hoping to get Wendao's help.
Wen Dao told Zong Pei that in his foreign gold mine business, he could get 4 million won (about RMB 24,000) in one go, and it only took three days to go back. Even if you are caught by the customs, you will only pay taxes at most.
Zong Pei was very moved when he heard this.
Out of a woman's intuition, Jingyan did not trust Wendao very much, and she did not believe that there was a good thing in the world.
But Zong Pei was completely concerned about this matter. After returning home, he called Wendao. However, Wendao said that only women can do in .
Zong Pei immediately got angry and started arguing with Jingyan.
Jingyan felt aggrieved, but when she looked at her young daughter, the house was barely covered by the landlord and aunt because she could not afford the rent. Jingyan decided to help Wendao transport the raw stones for this family.
However, women's premonitions were very accurate. Wendao did not do any gold mine business, but drug trafficking;
What he asked Jingyan to transport was not a raw stone at all, but drug .
Poor Jingyan had no idea what was going on. She was taken away by the police at the French airport because she could not speak foreign languages.
Because Jingyan did this with Zong Pei on her back, she knew that she had received a call from the police station. Zong Pei then learned that she had been arrested and realized that she had been harmed by Wen Dao.
He came to the police station and wanted to learn the latest news about his wife, but the police suspected that he was also taking drugs. He even took out a plastic cup and asked him to do a urine test, and insultedly asked him to pee on the spot.
No one will give a good face to a drug dealer's family , Zong Pei hits walls everywhere.
Due to the special identity of the drug dealer, Jingyan doesn't even allow her to have any contact with the outside world.
The Korean embassy in France also received the news soon, but the consul thought she had lost the face of the Koreans and only let her subordinates take action.
The embassy's executive Qiu Dajun came to Paris prison .
However, the purpose of his coming to the prison was not to help Jingyan, but to bring her some simple daily necessities in the prison and ask her to sign a confirmation letter without being treated improperly.
Jingyan begged Qiu Dajun and finally called her husband, but because time was too hurrying, she didn't even have time to say something to her daughter.
After returning to the embassy, Qiu Dajun made suggestions to the consul.
If the embassy petitions, it is possible that Jingyan will not be detained, just wait for trial.
However, the consul was full of contempt for this Korean aunt who transported drugs. Even if the embassy came forward and did not detain Jingyan, it would be taken care of by the embassy while waiting for trial, which would waste treasury funds.
So, the consul of decided not to take any measures to let Jingyan be detained and wait for trial .
Three months passed in a blink of an eye, and Jingyan was transferred from Paris Prison to French Martinique Women's Prison, a place with a flight time of 22 hours from South Korea.
Here, most of the people in detention are addicts, and violence, abuse, baldness, and maliciousness fill the entire prison.
Because of his thin figure and poor language, Jingyan was bullied here. Her food was often overturned by others and she could not fill her stomach every day. In order to survive, Jingyan could only secretly pick up bread slags on the ground in the middle of the night.
But she was afraid that her husband would worry, so when she wrote to him, she always said that she was doing well.
However, Zong Pei's life is not easy.
Because the rent cannot be paid, Zong Pei and his daughter have been swept out by the landlord .
But in order to save his wife, Zong Pei could only entrust his daughter to Guangzhi's Internet cafe, and he looked outside every day for Wen Dao's whereabouts.
On this day, Zong Pei pried open the door of Wendao's original company and wanted to find clues here.
However, no clue was found, and Zong Pei was beaten up by a group of unidentified people.
It turns out that this group of people are in the underworld. Wen Dao once tampered with the underworld's big brother's account book and cheated him of his money. Now he has been looking for Wen Dao's whereabouts.
, but this big brother is very humane. Not only did he ask his subordinates to apologize to Zong Pei, but after hearing that Jingyan was in prison, he also gave Zong Pei some money to help him get through the difficulties for the time being, and said that he would catch the article with Zong Pei together. road.
Zong Pei received a letter from Jingyan and was about to send some clothes to Jingyan, but found that there was a hole in his wife's underwear. Then he realized that his concern and efforts for Jingyan in the past were real. There are too few, and my wife has come to this point because of her carelessness, and she feels extremely guilty.
Zong Pei wanted to send money and clothes to Jingyan through the post office, but was told that it would take at least 20 days, but if you pass the embassy, you would save a lot of time.
But when Zong Pei called the embassy, Qiu Dajun said, do you think civil servants are running errands for you personally ?
Not only that, four months after the incident, the main culprit Wen Dao was not caught, so Jingyan's trial failed to be tried. According to regulations, Jingyan's case can only be tried again after four months.
Jingyan doesn't know how to speak foreign languages, and her lawyers don't know Korean, so they can't communicate at all. Zong Pei called the embassy again for help.
However, the embassy told Zong Pei that there were no overseas Chinese in Martinique. If a separate translator was sent from Paris to the past, the cost was too high, and this was not their budget range, so he refused to pay.
In their opinion, taxpayers’ money is not intended to provide convenience to criminals.
finally received good news, Wendao was arrested on .
may be thinking about the brotherhood of many years. Wen Dao admitted that Jingyan was transporting drugs without knowing it.
Then the next thing is simple. You only need to hand over the judgment in South Korea to the embassy, translate and notarize there and send it to the French court, and Jingyeon will get a formal trial.
and Wen Dao's testimony said that Jingyan was not aware of it, so Jingyan's sentence would be very short.
Zong Pei immediately told Jingyan about this, and Jingyan was also very happy.
However, four months have passed, and Jingyan, who should have been on trial, has not been able to receive the trial for a long time. Because the court has not received a verdict on Wen Dao, Jingyan's sentence will continue to be extended for four months. .
Why is this?
It turned out that the Korean court had already sent Wen Dao's judgment to the embassy, and they were busy receiving South Korean MPs and left the judgment they should have sent. After sending it to the leader, everyone Forgot this.
After a long time, the judgment was regarded as useless information, put together with a bunch of expired files, and entered the shredder.
Jingyan could only keep writing letters to the embassy for help, hoping that the embassy could send the verdict and then send an interpreter to help her.
It’s a pity that the embassy was already tired of Jingyan and put all her letter aside and ignored it.
Jingyan's nightmare continues.
A female instructor who repeatedly violated the offenders was finally going to attack Jingyan .
Just as a truck passed by, Jingyan resisted vigorously and fled into the tropical jungle next to her.
Jingyan kept running and ran to the beach.
Blue sky, azure blue sea water, white sand beach, tall coconut trees, this is a beautiful Caribbean beach.
Ironically, is where Jingyan and Zong Pei once dreamed of traveling to celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary .
Jingyan would never have thought that she would enter the holy land of her dream in this way.
After being caught, Jingyan was locked up alone and her life became more and more hopeless.
She could only tell Zong Pei about her pain in the letter.
"I have the same dream every day, trapped in a room without an exit or an entrance. I feel scared and afraid. Can you never go out from here? Husband, please wake me up from this nightmare. "
The trial has not come yet, until a year later, Jingyan was released on parole.
Jingyan was taken to a small island. Under the supervision of a dedicated person, she had to support herself. The prison no longer wanted to support a person in vain.
In the new room, Jingyan posted a world map. She wanted to know how far she was from home.
Zong Pei called the embassy again, but Qiu Dajun now had a headache when he heard about this, so he quickly asked his subordinates to go there perfunctorily.
The desperate Zong Pei could only choose to hold a sign and petition everywhere, but the effect was very little. Instead, the posts posted on the Internet attracted a lot of attention.
The embassy was also questioned by the French ambassador.
However, facing doubts, the consul and the executive are still saying that it is the reason why the French are too inefficient in their work.
I really couldn't avoid it, so the consul decided to take the executive to Martinique because it was a resort, and then, I would visit the poor Jingyan by the way.
A year has passed, and Jingyan saw the people in the embassy again, and tears flowed down her face in an instant. She thought her nightmare could finally end.
However, the consul had no idea that Jingyan had been acquitted in the domestic trial and was still fooling her, saying, "You know that Sai Weng lost his horse. Others spend money to take a vacation here. You have come here for free. It's so cool. Besides, drug trafficking is a serious crime here, and you will be sentenced to at least ten years in prison. It is better to do Zen meditation here to cultivate your mind and cultivate your nature.
Jingyan was so scared that she knelt down and begged them to help her and sent her to a Korean prison.
, the consul's next words will make Jingyan feel ashamed.
"Because of your affairs, your husband has been dragged down very much by you. For your husband and children, you should save your worries."
Jingyan found the judge to verify, but they couldn't communicate at all.
Jingyan was completely desperate. She wrote a letter to Zong Pei and sent all the money she had on her back.
She gave up, she didn't want to drag Zong Pei and her daughter down anymore.
Jingyan chose to commit suicide, but fortunately she was discovered and rescued in time.
After receiving the letter and money from his wife, Zong Pei deeply felt his wife's despair.
He can only use his life to attract everyone's attention.
Finally, a director contacted Zong Pei and they found a compatriot living on Martinique Island online. Therefore, the embassy said before that there were no compatriots who were self-defeating at this time.
Director will take Zong Pei to Martinique Island to report on this matter.
Finally, Jingyan and Zong Pei were able to meet each other after more than a year and hugged each other tightly.
In the subsequent interview, all the truth surfaced.
The court did not receive the verdict at all;
French police also stated that because there was no verdict, it could only be determined that Jingyan had criminal intentions;
Lawyer and Jingyan were speechless and could not communicate at all, and the embassy did not send a translation;
and Martin The Korean compatriots on Nickelodeon sent information to Paris last year because their passports needed to be extended. Therefore, the embassy knew from the very beginning that there were Korean compatriots here.
When interviewing embassy officials, they were very sad, but they were still shirking responsibility.
"France often strikes!"
For the verdict, they said that they had already sent it, but when Zong Pei asked to check the receipt, the matter was finally exposed.
Zong Pei learned that everything came from the officials of these embassies did not do anything, so he made a big fuss in the consulate.
Consul and executive officer ran to Jingyan's residence again and threatened her. If the TV station reported this matter, Jingyan would violate French laws and would be locked up again.
In order to settle this matter, the Consul actually sent a warning letter to South Korean TV stations through official channels, saying that if the report was reported, it might have an impact on Jingye's verdict.
Director found Zong Pei and solicited his opinions. Zong Pei did not hesitate and allowed the TV station to publish the report.
The truth is revealed to the world.
Jingyan received support from all Korean netizens and even received a lot of financial assistance.
Two embassy officials were the culprits of this matter. It was just their slaughter of the fight that Jingyan could be tried fairly as soon as possible. However, their inaction led to Jingyan living in the sea of suffering for two years. In the end, they were also exiled to the frontier.
Finally, Jingyan was tried.
Because he was selling drugs without knowing it, Jingyan was sentenced to one year in prison. However, since Jingyan had been in prison for two years, she could return home immediately and even give her more treatment. I took a year in prison to conduct a lawsuit and file for compensation.
Jingyan couldn't imagine compensation. She just wanted to go home now.
On the day of returning to China, Zong Pei brought his daughter and many enthusiastic citizens who were concerned about this matter to the airport to welcome Jingyan.
I haven't seen Jingyan for two years. My mother's image has become unfamiliar, and my daughter doesn't even dare to give her a hug.
The family was finally reunited, which also gave this movie, which was extremely depressed from beginning to end, a little warmth.
The most ironic thing is that at the end of the film, their family was about to take a family photo. Zong Pei received a call from the embassy to tell him that Jingyan’s trial result would be able to return to China soon.
Zong Pei hanged up the phone with a "hehe". The last call from
made Korean filmmakers damaging the government to the boundless.
