Synopsis
The World (世界, 2004) is a Chinese drama by Jia Zhangke you can watch online on iFILM. The setting is Beijing World Park — a theme park on the city's outskirts where scale replicas of the Eiffel Tower, the pyramids and Big Ben stand a short bus ride from nowhere.
Guard Taisheng and dancer Tao spend their days escorting tourists through a miniature planet they will never actually visit. The relationship is quietly falling apart — Taisheng is pursuing another woman, Tao is left with questions she can't bring herself to ask. Jia films it all at close range without judgement: young migrant workers performing the whole world for strangers while remaining invisible inside their own country.
