* BlitzEvacuees: Frank is from London, and has been sent out to a small Kent village to escape the Blitz. This is why he's placed in the care of Alice. Many other children have been too, with another girl later coming in from Belfast.
* DueToTheDead: [[spoiler:Alice tells Frank about how after losing her father, she did a miniature viking funeral on his behalf, launching a toy sea ship that she set on fire. He later does something similar in honor of his own deceased father, expect with a toy wooden plane that flies out over the Atlantic.]]
* FloatingContinent: Alice is a folklorist who studies the stories of mysterious islands in the sky that people have reported, positing they're the result of mirages. Frank sees two during the film
* HollywoodAtheist: Alice tells Frank how spirits, God and any afterlife are things people had made up to comfort themselves in her view. She tries to find a scientific explanation for people seeing strange floating islands in the sky, though Alice does like the idea of [[TitleDrop Summerland]], the old Celtic pagan {{Heaven}}. Alice is also bitter and unfriendly at first, though due to losing her lover (this isn't explicitly linked with her views). Even by the end Alice hasn't explicitly given up her disbelief in these things, although it seems she won't gainsay Frank saying he believes his father is now in Summerland. She also can't see the mysterious things Frank does.
