The film includes a number of memory flashbacks, as well as many pop songs played on the son's transistor radio (including Michael Learns to Rock's "That's Why You Go Away", which is an anachronism given that the film is set in the early 1980s).
In 2003, Michael Learns to Rock covered the title track, "Goodbye Kiss", in English and released it as "Take Me To Your Heart".
