28 October 2019, US, New York: In the Bronx district of New York, a staircase leads up between two blocks of houses.

But since exactly this staircase became the scene of a central scene in the Hollywood movie "Joker", which is currently running successfully in cinemas worldwide, more and more onlookers and tourists are coming there.
