Description
We are in Stratford, a town in West Midlands, England.

The film opens with Anne Hathaway's cottage, William Shakespeare's wife, and a lot of people who visit it. It is a twelve-room farmhouse where Anne Hathaway lived as a child in the village of Shottery, Warwickshire, England, about 1 mile (1.6 km) west of Stratford-upon-Avon. The filmmaker shows us the house from different angles as well as its gardens.

Afterwards, we are at Henley Street of Stratford-upon-Avon, where William Shakespeare is believed to have been born in 1564 and spent his childhood. The lens gives us views from the street with passers-by and stands on the Barclays bank building. The camera then focuses on Shakespeare's house, a restored 16th-century half-timbered house that now functions as a museum as it is a popular attraction, owned and managed by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, as we see on the sign which the filmmaker shows us.

The film closes with views from the street as well as the house.
