Hairy Girl: Neither of the female protagonists has shaved their pubic hair, as we see from their copious nude scenes.However, even learning she isn't, he's still very happy to realize they got it on. He's delighted when he thinks Alba is offering to have a threesome with him and Natasha. Girl-on-Girl Is Hot: Max sure thinks so.Fantasy Sequence: Alba imagines herself being shot in the heart by Cupid's arrow near the end, symbolizing her having fallen for Natasha.Disappeared Dad: Assuming it's true, Alba tells Natasha that her Spanish mother ran away back home after her birth because she'd faced essentially living as a captive of her Arab father.It's made clear Alba feels guilty about this, as she was watching him, and it drove a rift between them. Death of a Child: Alba relates that her partner's son recently died in an accident, tearing up as she does.Closet Key: Natasha tells Alba she's never been interested in a woman before her, though like everything she says this may not be true.The next morning, however, heВ’s delighted that theyВ’ve clearly got it on during the night, and even serenades them with some opera before leaving them to their breakfast.

HeВ’s all excited when he thinks heВ’s going to have a threesome with the women, but it doesnВ’t happen. Also qualifies as a Fanservice Faux Fight as they're both naked.

Childish Pillow Fight: Alba and Natasha jump on the bed briefly pelting each other with pillows as they laugh in a moment of childish glee.

It's downplayed however as nothing else about her is that butch.

Butch Lesbian: Alba has short hair and wears pretty masculine clothing.

At one point the two leads start talking to each other in their native tongues, and it becomes clear that Natasha has her own Bilingual Bonus going on: while Alba mostly gives some generic revelations about how she feels in the situation, Natasha's dialogue is a response to Alba's - because while the latter can't speak Russian, Natasha speaks fluent Italian and understands Spanish.

If you can understand Russian and Spanish, though (or get a version with subtitles), you can get some pretty interesting revelations. Not all versions of the film have subtitles to translate these different languages. English, Russian, Spanish, Italian, and Basque.

Bilingual Bonus: Five different languages are spoken over the course of the film.

Given that a lot of what she says is dubious, some or all of this may be an act too. However, neither discusses her orientation, and since Natasha says she's never been attracted to a woman before it's obviously still new to her.

Ambiguously Bi: Natasha seems to be bi, as she insists she's into men but has sex with Alba more than once that she clearly enjoys, and flirted with her before.

Is she just keeping her promise to let Alba see her run, or has she changed her mind and is enacting a dramatic, life-altering decision? You decide.

They walk away from each other after holding hands for one last time - and right when you'd expect the credits to roll, Natasha calls out to Alba and runs across the screen in her direction. Eventually, however, Natasha can't bring herself to leave everything behind, so they agree to keep the secret and go their separate ways. Ambiguous Ending: Alba and Natasha talk about separating from their partners and leaving their previous lives so they can stay together in Rome in the moment's enthusiasm Alba mentions how she wants to see Natasha run, and Natasha promises she will.She seems to enjoy assuming her identity in her stories, including the more squicky parts. Always Identical Twins: Natasha has a twin that is completely identical to her.Given that she pretends she's her twin, it's possible Natasha (or both) is the one who had actually suffered the abuse. Abusive Parents: Natasha's father sexually abused her sister and ended up traumatizing both of them.
