Tropes for the film:

  • Disappeared Dad:
    • Pappi is this to Peter, as they haven't been in contact for many years, and Peter only goes to him due to not having any other options to take care of Delphi.
    • Peter ends up becoming this to Delphi, as he is killed by the gang he was working with for not delivering the drugs to them.
  • Missing Mom: Delphi's mother died in a car crash, as she wasn't wearing a seatbelt.
  • Outliving One's Offspring: Pappi ends up outliving Peter after Peter is murdered by the people working for Merchant.
  • Suddenly Speaking: After spending the entire film not speaking at all, Delphi finally speaks one line when she and her grandfather are at the airport, only saying "I like this song" before the credits roll.
  • The Voiceless: Delphi, who hasn't spoken for two years due to being in a car crash that killed her mother and doesn't talk for almost the entire film.
