Milena, a young director, arrives to Bor, a small mining town in Eastern Serbia. Her aim is to set up Bertolt Brecht's "The Threepenny Opera" with local amateur actors. Different people come to the audition for this play. This documentary portrays their everyday lives, beyond the theater rehearsals.

In the Serbian drama "White, White World", the characters sing, but never dance. Formulated as a modern day Greek tragedy set in the decrepit eastern mining town of Bor, the movie follows a close group of alienated locals through misguided love affairs and other brash misdeeds. But the songs feature no choreography or other stylish methods of breaking the harsh, downtrodden tableaux.
