Set in 1950’s China, the story follows 4 year old Qiang as he starts kindergarten school and his struggle to fit in. He starts his own rebellion against his teachers there. His charisma slowly earns him friends despite his rebellious behavior. The little red flowers in the title is what the kids in the school get for good behavior – something Qiang struggles to achieve due to his behavior.
It’s a great movie to watch and the kids are cute, endearing and adorable. The interaction between the kids is great and feels very authentic. Might be a tad slow for some but I never found the movie to be boring. Shame about the rather abrupt ending.
