    During the dialogue between Aubrey and Dave at the cinema, Aubrey talks about her trip to Madrid and how she got lost and sat by a fountain in a plaza. In her room we can see a collage in which photos of the Plaza Mayor in Madrid are highlighted in a backlit frame. Although the Plaza Mayor has no fountain, the Plaza de la Provincia does, and it sits right next to it. Also, on the wall beside that collage hangs a large map of Paris, showing her interest in travel.
