The story of a man who is wishing for a feeling of freedom. A man is in a dungeon and as the only way out into freedom he sees artistic expression, dancing, acting and painting, but when he stops, the artist finds himself in the dungeon again, til one day a girl knocks on his door. We realise it is his daughter who wants to walk with him, and that the man is not in a real dungeon, but an ordinary room. He takes the daughter’s hand and they step out into the sunny nature, free and happy. His daughter saved him from his personal dungeon.
