The film was shot primarily on the real streets of New York, using recognizable corners of Manhattan to ground the story about family pressure, personal obsession, and the everyday texture of the city. The locations emphasize mundane routines — walking, watching, working, and searching — so that the plot's pursuit and emotional tension feel connected to residential neighborhoods rather than studio sets.
