Ana is the only person who chooses emotional ties over familial ties - she chooses. Jorgen over jacob, even though jacob is her biological father. Struggles of the rich vs. the poverty in india - wealth creates an arti cial image of happiness and what love should be. Jorgen"s wealth is the reason jacob ended up in the situation. The twins contrast with the children in india - there"s a similarity, in that they all play soccer, but there is a difference too. Simple life in india changes into a complex life in copenhagen. Secrets: inevitable that they will come to light. Jacob has the fewest secrets, but he does keep secrets and doesn"t disclose all relevant information.
