In this dazzling film he has chosen the theme park called "The World" with some of its landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower or Taj Mahal where the Chinese can travel the world without ever leaving Beijing. Through one of its employees the beautiful dancer Tao who's entire world is encompassed in the park, Zhang Ke takes us on a mind blowing tour in the artificial cage where people live and die while dreaming of what lies outside. Zhang Ke always there to shed a light on the modernization of his country and its toll on the people and their environment that's heartbreaking and frightening.
