Poor Communication Kills: Nearly literary. Aleksei almost gets his training partner killed by being too shy to immediately tell the trainer that he collapsed.

Shoot the Shaggy Dog: Either this or simply "Shaggy Dog" Story. The ending is highly ambiguous.

Manic Pixie Dream Girl: Subverted with the psychologist. She is a cheerful, eccentric girl who tries to bring Aleksei from despair. However, her motives are not entirely selfless: she wants to learn more about the Experiment. She ends up being assaulted (not in sexual way) by Aleksei, who wants the same thing.

Gainax Ending: The film ends with Aleksei being subjected to the experiment once again, but instead of his body changing, he is shown watching Petrosyan with his grandmother.

First Law of Tragicomedies: Somewhat Averted. Throughout the story Aleksei's misadventures are funny, while his mental state becomes progressively more terrifying.

Manchild: Aleksei. Even his work involves assembling toys. His hobby is pretty much the same. The psychologist, in a different way.
