There are 13 kinds of fathers' love coming from the true emotions of 13 families. Such as: "Figure", "Pineapple Bread", "Burn", "Travels", "Santa Claus", etc. "Figure": The well-known story of Zhu Ziqing and his father, as the prologue of this drama, leads us to probe into the giant in every family. "Father": One morning, the son was preparing for the joint high school examination but was getting late. Father sent him to the railway station in haste. The son was looking at his father buying tangerines for him, and he found his father had worn the jacket and trousers inside out. "Travel": The phone ring wakes Maggie in a dream. Mother cries at the other end of the phone, says "Your father has left...". Maggie holds her fist tight trembling, crying shrilly "Daddy, why don't you wait for me…". "Burn": Two little brothers light up a fire in the factory to stop their parents from fighting. And the sound of the parents' argument is covered over by the little boys' shouting... "Santa Claus": At midnight, father falls outside the iron window of the balcony, the noise alarms the neighbor and wakes up the sons. The younger brother sees father's thigh on that iron plate piercing through, saying to father "I believe that there is Santa Claus, come up quickly!" with the tears flowing.
