The World is a theme park in Beijing, featuring scaled replicas of famous landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and Leaning Tower of Pisa. The film takes a unique perspective, showing the park through the eyes of its underwhelmed staff, who struggle with poor communication and a sense of disillusionment. The story follows a young dancer, Tao, and a security guard, Taisheng, who harbors feelings for her but shies away from commitment.
