Running through someone else’s memory.
The film reconstructs places rather than simply recording them. A vanished restaurant was built again for the camera, while an existing theatre supplied the meeting point under its lights. The real distance between these stops is much larger than a cut in the film makes it feel.
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.
