There are prisoners have chained their legs and necks in cave so they cannot move and cannot twist their necks around. All day long they just can imagine about passers by behind them because of the fire. One of the prisoners was released. so he can see the world for real, but he was hurt by the light. And he wants to share the outside with the prisoners, but they reject him because he cannot see the world as they can do and had an echo in cave so, they cannot understand what he said.
