Films function not only as entertainment but also as a medium for representing psychological development and educational values. Miracle in Cell No. 7 (2022) portrays Kartika's psychological growth as she pursues education despite experiencing parental loss and social adversity. This study aims to analyze the representation of Kartika's developmental psychology by applying Erikson's Psychosocial Development Theory and Lazarus and Folkman's Cognitive Appraisal Theory. This research employed a descriptive qualitative design using twenty-eight selected scenes as the primary data. The data were collected through documentation and analyzed using Miles and Huberman's interactive model. The findings indicate that Kartika's psychological development is represented through three major aspects: parental emotional support that fosters competence and learning motivation, adaptive coping strategies that strengthen resilience in overcoming adversity, and educational experiences that shape her professional identity as a lawyer committed to justice. These findings suggest that education is represented not only as academic achievement but also as a process of psychological development that builds resilience, identity, and moral responsibility. This study contributes to literary psychology by explaining the relationship between education, developmental psychology, and coping in cinematic narratives.
