12	!!Tropes in this film:
13	* ActorAllusion: In this film, Carlos Areces got a bunch of balls thrown at him. In [[Film/{{Extraterrestre}} his next film]], ''he'd'' be the one throwing the balls.
14	* BarredFromTheAfterlife: Of the UnfinishedBusiness variety.
15	* BlessedWithSuck: It's implied that Modesto's ability to see dead people has got him fired from every school he ever worked in and cost him a fortune in psychiatrists.
16	* CoversAlwaysLie: From the poster, it looks like the skeleton is a character in the movie. He's also the first "ghost" you see. However it is revealed that the skeleton really is just a skeleton manipulated by the ghosts, and isn't a character at all.
17	* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: Elsa REALLY wants to meet Jorge.]]
18	* FanserviceExtra: The {{Fanservice}} in this film is entirely done by extras.

21	* HiddenDepths: Dani the delinquent is the only one to recognize an obscure quote from Dámaso Alonso's "Children of Wrath". Though he claims to have overheard it in the hallway, it's implied he actually enjoys poetry as a hobby.
22	* ISeeDeadPeople: Modesto can. Why is never explained.
23	* LettingHerHairDown: Ángela, during her song.
24	* MedicateTheMedium: Modesto takes drugs until he realizes he has a gift, not a curse.

26	** During the studying montage, the kids borrow some dance moves from ''Film/TheBreakfastClub''.
27	* TalkingDownTheSuicidal: [[spoiler:Jorge insists to Elsa that she has to live all he could not. They do share a kiss before she comes back to her senses.]]
28	* TeenPregnancy: Mariví was quite pregnant at the time of her death.
29	* UnfinishedBusiness: The five have to finish high school. [[spoiler: And that may have been part of it - but in additon to that: Pinfloy has to get to a party, Ángela has to find her voice, Mariví has to give the boy who got her pregnant his comeuppance, Dani has to admit he started the fire, and Jorge has to find love.]]
30	* VomitIndiscretionShot: Pinfloy, due to him having been drunk for 20 years.
