* FootDraggingDivorcee: Sá Carneiro wants to divorce his wife Isabel so he can marry Snu, but Isabel staunchly refuses. Sá Carneiro and Snu thus live while he is married to someone else, which is quite scandalous for Portugal at the time and puts Sá Carneiro's political career in jeopardy.

!!Tropes:
* AmicableExes: Snu and her husband divorce on good terms. There's a scene where both he and Sá Carneiro are with Snu at the hospital after she collapses, and Snu quips in front of both of them that they are her two husbands.
* AppropriatedAppellation: Snu explains that she was named Ebba at birth, but everyone called her "Snu" (meaning "clever") instead and at some point she started signing her name as Snu, making it official.
* ExpectingSomeoneTaller: Sá Carneiro expected Snu to be an old lady, and also not so tall. Snu in turn expected Sá Carneiro to be rather taller (Sá Carneiro was famously on the short side in real life).
* FootDraggingDivorcee: Sá Carneiro wants to divorce his wife Isabel so he can marry Snu, but Isabel staunchly refuses. Sá Carneiro and Snu thus live while he is married to someone else, which is quite scandalous for Portugal at the time and puts Sá Carneiro's political career in jeopardy.
* ForegoneConclusion: If you didn't know that historically, Snu and Sá Carneiro died in a plane crash in 1980, the film makes sure to let you know straight away in the first scene, which shows the reactions of various characters and includes a real telecast announcing their deaths. The film ends with the two about to board the plane.
* SympatheticAdulterer: Snu and Sá Carneiro are both cheating on their spouses when they start their affair, but they are framed as heroic characters (for reasons other than their cheating) and the film is sympathetic to their love story.
