* HappilyMarried: Subverted with Julia and Aksel, who ultimately don't last despite their genuine affection for one another and intellectual compatibility.
* MushroomSamba: Julia, Eivind and Eivind's friends all have a night like this after finding a bag of mushrooms.
* NonIndicativeName: No, Julia is not the worst person in the world. The title is a deliberate misnomer at Julia's expense as, despite her indecisiveness, she goes on to demonstrate real talent in her endeavors and compassion for the people she loves.
