The camera drifts across a shadowy, untidy bedroom in Sheffield, 2011. Particles of dust float in a single blade of moonlight slicing through the slatted blinds. The bed lies empty, its sheets tangled and cold. Alex Turner perches alone in a corner, the cherry of a cigarette burning softly in the dark, his silhouette slouched against the wall. The air is dense with silence and the faint, clinging odor of old smoke. The honeymoon phase has ended; only the hollow reverberation of what once burned brightly remains.
