小人國
Kids Kingdom

小孩子有他們的價值觀和想法，大人又了解幾多？為解開兒童內心世界的秘密，本片耗時三年在北京郊區一所幼兒園拍攝，以交叉叙事手法追蹤三個小孩的生活變化與成長，當中更透出盎然情感與童真：五歲男孩池亦洋強壯、粗野，是孩子天生的領袖；兩歲男孩錫坤沉默寡言，悄悄把小朋友的鞋子投進比他還高的垃圾桶裡；四歲女孩辰辰每天早上站在幼兒園門口等待她的好朋友，春夏秋冬，從不間斷……

They say children are a difficult subject to film, but Mainland documentary filmmaker Zhang Tong-dao's latest shows that it's worth all the trouble. Zhang followed three kids in a suburban kindergarten in Beijing for three years, capturing candid footage of their genuine behaviors and naked emotions. Then, stories came naturally. Chi Yi-yang was strong and smart - would he become a leader or a bully? Why did Chen-chen wait at the gate of the school every morning? What made Xi-kun the suspect in the mysterious disappearance of the kids' shoes? A film for parents who wish to understand the unique world of children, and any adult who wishes to find his or her inner child once more.
