The scenes in casinos and on show stages add authenticity to the film and immerse the viewer in the world of entertainment and glamour. Los Angeles, with its diverse locations, was used for filming scenes related to the main character's personal life, highlighting the contrast between her professional and personal life. These cities were chosen not by chance: they symbolize dreams, ambitions, and the struggle for success, which are key themes of the film.
