Beyond the simple documentary study of the geography, we understand the power of location, the way a specific place interacts with, partly determines, and certainly becomes a part of its inhabitants and its visitors lives, goals, and actions. The bifurcated storytelling that frames the film ultimately tells us less about our human characters, with their comical bumblings and momentary heartfelt declarations, and more about how human character is informed by its surroundings.
