Likes Older Men: Anna's mother tells that Martyn is not Anna's type: Anna generally dates older men. Her former lover Peter and her secret lover Stephen are much older than her (Stephen is the father of her official fiancé).

comment
Meet the In-Laws: Martyn brings Anna to his parents' house to introduce her to them. The meeting is quite awkward because Martyn's mother Ingrid takes an immediate dislike to Anna (but she does not show it openly). Moreover, Stephen and Anna have already (but they do not tell the others about it) met and are attracted to each other.

Sympathetic Adulterer: Stephen's unfaithfulness is depicted somewhat sympathetically because he seems to be unable to resist Anna's charms, even if he tries to. Her attraction is just too powerful.

comment
Incest Subtext: Anna and her brother were very close, so close that he committed suicide when Anna started dating a man. However, it is never revealed if Anna was really romantically involved with her brother. After Martyn dies, Ingrid tells Stephen that he only lived for Anna (actually, Stephen was passionately in love with her), while she only lived for Martyn, her son. If she was attracted to her son, this might explain why she disliked his girlfriend.

Love Makes You Crazy: Stephen's love for Anna makes him act irrationally. For example, during a business trip, he travels at night from Brussels to Paris just to see his lover. In the end, he loses his job and his family because of his love.
