The film opens with Larry walking up to a theatre door on a quiet, rain-soaked side street in the West End of London. He sits by the doorway, passing the time, until a younger man named Simon joins him, both waiting for an early performance by The Man of a Thousand Faces. The mood is hushed and patient as they wait, and the wet pavement reflects the glow of nearby neon and street lamps, giving the moment a quiet, almost ceremonial feel.
