 Plot-Triggering Death: Karin's mother isn't that important to the story, but the movie opens with the announcement of her death and it's because of it that Karin and David meet for the first time.

 Downer Ending: Andreas warns Karin that if she leaves to chase after David, he will not take her back. She goes after David anyway, but then refuses to go with him and he calls her a coward before leaving. In the end, Karin is left alone and pregnant.

 Meet Cute: Played with; Karin and David's first meeting occurs in tragic circumstances as Karin is visiting the hospital after hearing that her mother passed away. But David finding Karin in a closet really feels like it would be a standard Meet Cute in lighter circumstances.
