The film is set in " a place calling itself rome " , but its derelict apartment blocks and bread riots could be any modern multiethnic city .
电影背景设定在“称为罗马的城市”,但废弃的公寓大楼和暴动事件可能发生在任何一个多民族城市。
Materials salvaged from the derelict structure were used to restore the original building with small interventions to accommodate changed requirements of day lighting , thermal efficiency and circulation .
