The core relationship is reminiscent of the two unrequited partners in Lost in Translation. There's a big age gap and completely different domestic home lives and careers and upbringings and yet their connection is undeniable. Sarah and Alex are both dealing with a mental and existential crisis. They're both lost hopeless romantics looking for a new leash on life but continually find themselves trying to sort out the constant shit that life can deal without reason or justice. We're given glimpses of their burning desire for each other but it's always broken up by the harsh realities of life. And thus, the audience is made to feel the fleeting temporal nature of love.
