在这部世界剧情片中,身为北京世界公园民俗村的一名舞蹈演员，赵小桃（赵涛）对身边微缩的世界早已厌倦，渴望有天同也在民俗村做保安队长的男友成太生（成泰燊）一起坐飞机去看看外面真实的世界。前任男友的到访，令赵小桃想起她同成太生刻骨铭心的初遇以及目前两人过的平庸日子，明白昔日的理想早被粉碎，而刚结识的一见如故的俄罗斯姑娘安娜的突然离去，加深了她对现实生活意义的怀疑，认识到她和成太生对彼此的忠贞，是生活里所剩的唯有美好。
然而人心是最能琢磨的，成太生悄无声息地把心给了另一个即将去巴黎的女人，但他显然没有领会民俗村以外的现实世界里流行的情感游戏规则，只能黯然回归自己的卑微身份。
"The World" is a theme park on the outskirts of Beijing, sixteen kilometers from the Chinese capital, designed around scaled representations of the world's famous landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower or the Leaning Tower of Pisa.The site is seen here not from the visitors' point of view but through the eyes of a few of its staff, lonely people, communicating poorly, a bit disillusioned with life, glittering for the tourists but dull and restricted as far as they are concerned. We meet, among others, pretty young dancer Tao and Taisheng, a security guard who is fond of her but not of personal commitment...
温州人眼里的世界。卡在梦想与现实之间的《世界》。你说这飞机上坐的都是啥人啊？。速度與景觀的鐵籠――論賈樟柯的《世界》。三个世界。你为谁拍电影？。哈哈。世界·人民大·团结万岁。世界。印度的旁边是乌兰巴托，天安门的对面是布达拉宫。
