У китайській школі вчитель організовує незвичний експеримент — вибори старости класу серед третьокласників. Троє учнів починають кампанію, намагаючись здобути підтримку однокласників. Вибори швидко перетворюються на справжню політичну боротьбу з інтригами, впливом батьків і маніпуляціями. Діти вчаться переконувати, конкурувати і долати поразки. Документальний фільм показує, як принципи демократії проявляються в мініатюрі, відкриваючи складність людських стосунків і прагнення до влади з раннього віку.
