Disappeared Dad: Michel has disappeared and Lola brings up her son alone. Mme Desnoyers brings up Cécile alone too. In the end, Mme Desnoyers tells that Cécile's father is not her late husband, but her brother-in-law who lives in Cherbourg. This is also Roland's background. He tells his father was a sailor and his mother always waited for him.

All Love Is Unrequited: Mme Desnoyers is charmed by Roland. Roland is in love with Lola and he proposes to her. She rejects him, because she is still in love with Michel who left her years ago. Cécile Desnoyers is attracted to Frankie. Frankie, in turn, has a crush on Lola, but he is just a one-night stand for her. Only Lola gets together with her love interest, Michel, when he comes back.

Shout-Out
 Lola / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Roland reads Man's Fate by André Malraux. He is captivated by his reading and he arrives late at work. He uses a quote from the book to justify his late arrival. Mme Desnoyers brings back to the bookshop a shocking book whose main character is called Justine. This is probably Justine by the Marquis de Sade. Roland goes to the cinema to watch Return to Paradise (1953). He later explains that it is a movie starring Gary Cooper, set on Matareva Island.

comment
I Will Wait for You: Lola is still in love with Michel, her first love, who left her years ago. She does not want to get into another serious relationship because of this. Downplayed, because she is not opposed to one-night stands, especially with men who look like Michel.

Contrived Coincidence
 Lola / int_dc579c91
comment
Contrived Coincidence: Many of them. For example, in the beginning, Jeanne talks to Roland about a woman who has to raise her child alone because her lover left her. This woman is Roland's childhood friend and he will meet her later the same day. Roland goes to the cinema and tells he watched a film which is set on Matareva Island. When Michel comes back, he tells Lola that he ended up on the same island. When he meets the young Cécile, Roland remembers Cécile, his childhood friend who he has not met since the war. Later the same day, he meets again his childhood friend Cécile.

History Repeats
 Lola / int_e003c829
comment
History Repeats: The destiny of the young Cécile mirrors the life of the old Cécile ("Lola"). They have the same name. Lola is a dancer and the young Cécile would like to become one. Lola met her first love, Michel, at a funfair. He had fair hair and he was disguised as an American sailor. He left her just after their meeting. The young Cécile falls in love with Frankie, a real American sailor with fair hair, who looks like Michel according to Lola. She goes with him to a funfair. He leaves her immediately thereafter.
