Tropes:
- Anyone Can Die (well, not anybody, but anybody who's left for the war)
- Melodrama
- Star-Crossed Lovers (In an ironic twist, they are played by a actor/actress couple in the middle of a divorce, because the actress is having an affair with the director.)
- Altar the Speed, Lampshaded and then averted.
- Train Station Goodbye: The Trope Maker.
