Four-year-old Qiang and something of a rebel. He attends a well-organised kindergarten in Beijing and he finds it hard to fit into such an organised life. A born individualist, he does his best to follow the teachers’ instructions but, try as he might, he is doomed to failure.
They say the best things come in small packages, and that is certainly true of this quietly subversive children’s drama, set in the early days of Communist China. Full of naturalistic performances from some very cute toddlers, this likable film invites an allegorical, possibly dissident reading.
