One shift. An unfamiliar city.
The taxi holds the story together while the city keeps changing outside it. Buildings provide the thresholds: someone arrives, steps out, or disappears behind a door. Follow the locations as separate visits; the film’s single night compresses a much wider geography.
Locations are sequenced as a fan journey, not a plot recap. Songs, scenes and episodes lead the route; changed, private and doubled sites are labelled rather than smoothed into fiction.
5 public-place or area references. Private properties and unlocated historic sites stay off the map.

Exact title and mapped-place matches come first. A clearly labelled city film or music programme may follow when it helps extend the journey.
No strong current event association is published for this World. We would rather leave this quiet than force a generic city listing.
A shared venue or neighbourhood connects a programme to the map; a city-level programme connects only to the World’s medium. Neither implies a themed event, cast appearance or artist performance. Confirm dates, location, access and tickets with the organiser.
