Brussels 
The city of Brussels is the perfect story world for this film about different perspectives since it has very strong contrasts. It can be messy and chaotic but also beautiful and charming. These two opposing sides are represented in the  two perspectives: the chaos and overload of details in the reality. The clean, romantic aesthetics in Reiniers memory. At first glance, Brussels seems like a chaotic and dirty city. But if you open yourself up to it, you will be able to see the absurdity and unique character in it. While Hannah is able to do so and appreciates the city, Reinier is unable to do so.
