The film was shot primarily in real New York City locations to ground the relationship story in recognizable everyday spaces. The production uses an Upper West Side residential block to depict the protagonist's home, with street-level perspectives emphasizing the city's routine movement and neighborhood details. These locations support key domestic scenes and transitions between family life, tension, and reconciliation.
