Tropes:
 * Anyone Can Die (well, not anybody, but anybody who's left for the war)
 * Melodrama
 * Star Crossed Lovers (In an ironic twist, they are played by a actor/actress couple in the middle of a divorce, because the actress is having an affair with the director.)
 * Altar the Speed, Lampshaded and then averted.
 * Train Station Goodbye: The Trope Maker.
