[edit] Fictional events

Contrary to some pre-release speculations, the 2004 film 2046 does not entirely take place in this year. Rather, 2046 in the film is the concept of a year when time travel has been discovered and to which no one returns after they have left it. A science fiction subplot set in that year does form part of the narrative.
