Little Red Flowers
ComedyDrama
Liang is a four-year-old little rebel, possessed of a pair of luminous eyes and a precociously indomitable will. His father deposits him at a well-appointed residential kindergarten in post-1949 Beijing, since his parents are often away. Life at the kindergarten appears rich and colourful, made up of a variety of cheerfully sunny rituals and games meant to train these children to be good members of society.
VIBE
A tender, yet often heartbreaking, look at childhood innocence clashing with societal expectations. It’s a visually rich, quietly observed drama that captures the bittersweet essence of growing up too fast.
