Zhao Tao stars as Tao, a young woman who works at the World Park, a real theme park made up of small recreations of major world cities and landmarks, including New York, Paris, Tokyo, and London, featuring the Egyptian Pyramids, Big Ben, Stonehenge, the World Trade Center, and, especially, the Eiffel Tower, where many scenes take place. Tao wears flashy costumes when dancing in front of the Taj Mahal, but she is missing something from her life and begins searching deep inside herself after becoming friends with a Russian woman. Tao's boyfriend, Chen (Chen Taisheng), a security guard at the park, is fed up with her mood swings and starts a flirtatious relationship with Qun (Wang Yigun), a fashion designer who makes illegal knock-offs. In another subplot of the film, a relationship between Wei (Jing Jue) and Niu (Jiang Zhongwei) threatens to explode. (Verleiher-Text)
