Tropes:

• Anyone Can Die (well, not anybody, but anybody who's left for the war)
• Melodrama
• Star-Crossed Lovers (In an ironic twist, they are played by a actor/actress couple in the middle of a divorce, because the actress is having an affair with the director.)
• Altar the Speed, Lampshaded and then averted.
• Train Station Goodbye: The Trope Maker.
