Apathetic Citizens: Several instances of this. Lampshaded when Victor chases Abel on the escalator where people stand under unnatural angles. | |

| Abel / int_3b113b7 | comment |
Character Development: Played with. Abel does not change very much in the end, he just hits his father with a bottle to protect his girl. | |

Arc Words: For Duif those are "young, beautiful and able to get pregnant". She is anxious that her husband would start a romance with a woman described by these words. | |

Aerith and Bob: Male characters are named Abel and Victor while females are called Duif (dove) and Zus (sis, sister) which are not regular names. | |

Calling Parents by Their Name | |
| Abel / int_bfc84d44 | comment |
Calling Parents by Their Name: Abel does exactly that, calling his mother Duif and his father Victor. It is both for the purpose of black comedy and to show the lack of understanding (or too much of that on the part of his mother). | |

Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: Zus say to Abel that she works as a teacher. No, as a model. No, in Naakte Meisjes (..."Naked Girls"). | |

Brick Joke | |
| Abel / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: During the conversation at the dinner table the father mentions a certain executive called De Beer. Later when he chases Abel they run into the conference room with the round table where that very De Beer is a participant in a meeting currently going on, and even voicing his opinion. It is somewhat lampshaded when the other executive addresses him by his name. | |
