Set during the aftermath of the Chinese Revolution, the title alludes to the rewards given to children who behave well. Four-year-old Fang Qiangqiang (Dong Bowen) is taken by his father to a strict residential kindergarten, where, estranged from home, he starts misbehaving and challenging the authority of the teachers. He constantly parades around the cramped spaces in total disdain for their puritanical obsession with cleanliness and order.
