  A novel somewhere on the outskirts of Moscow on the map

  Scene was shot Vertoljotchikov Street is located in the Nekrasovka district in the south-east of Moscow and is a typical example of a peripheral area of the capital. It is dominated by high-rise residential buildings, which creates an atmosphere of remoteness from the city center. This location is ideal for filming the scene in which Roman heads to the studio, as it symbolizes his transition to the less prestigious and more budget-friendly world of cinema. Shooting specifically on Chopper Street emphasizes that the studio is far from Roman's usual life and that the project he is traveling to is most likely not high-status. The surroundings with gray high-rises and typical houses create a sense of ordinariness and even some neglect, which makes this neighborhood a suitable backdrop for a film that explores themes of low-budget cinema and the adult industry. In addition, the lack of bright and attractive locations on the outskirts of Moscow reflects Roman's inner feelings - his fears and uncertainty before a new stage of life. This place becomes a symbol of his transition into the unknown, when he does not yet realize that he is on his way to make a pornographic film.
