Right Through the Wall: Francis and Aline make a lot of noise when they have sex. Antoine cannot sleep because of that. When Alexandra has a little chat with him, she does not seem to notice Francis and Aline's scream. Antoine and Alexandra also make a lot of noise when they have sex: the next day everybody complains about that.

Stylistic Suck: The theatre play created by the commune is really bad. A part of the audience cannot stand it and makes fun of it. This is a parody of politically-motivated theatre.

Chocolate Baby: Véronique tells that her baby's father is a Swedish guy and she shows the picture of a blond guy. Eventually, the baby turns out to be black. Justified because Véronique is a hippie who believes in free love.

Polyamory: Aline is in an intense sexual relationship with Francis, but she proposes Antoine to have sex with her. Francis, for his part, starts dating Charlotte and Aline (apparently) does not take offence. Jean-Pierre and Marie-Jo are married, but Jean-Pierre accepts the fact that his wife has other partners like Raymondo.
