 Distant Finale: There's a long time skip before the final scene. Rafael and Leonora's last reunion reveals that he's developed a paunch, wears glasses, and has lost quite a bit of his hair. Inexplicably, Leonora looks exactly the same.

 Foreshadowing: It doesn't take a genius to figure out that the allusion to the river sometimes becoming a raging "torrent" when it rains will pay off later in the movie. Surprisingly however it's not the climax; the big flood comes barely halfway thorugh.
