* ExtremelyShortTimespan: The film takes place within a day, during the titular Fireworks Wednesday in fact (well, it's actually Tuesday; the celebration itself occurs on the eve of Wednesday).
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy:
[[spoiler: Simin decides at the end that she and Morteza should end their affair there and now, because, as a divorcee with a child, she doesn't want to see the Samii's family, which includes a young child, to break apart as well. The Samii may ultimately break up due to irreconcilable differences nevertheless, but Simin's action is still commendable.]]

ProperlyParanoid: [[spoiler: Mojdeh.]]


Added DiffLines:

* SickeninglySweethearts: Rouhi and Abdolreza, the young newlyweds. Obviously made to contrast with the Samii's dysfunctional marriage life.
* SupportingProtagonist: Rouhi, while framed as the protagonist, only serves as the POV through which the audience sees the conflict between Mojdeh and Morteza.


Added DiffLines:

* WouldHurtAChild: Mojdeh outright slaps Amirali when he continues to hide away and refuses to leave with her.
