One of the common themes in the two motion pictures is the fact that individuals face great adversity and are nonetheless determined to go through with their plans. The central characters in both films are well-acquainted with the risks they face as a result of getting involved in a controversial relationship. Even with this, they are unhesitant and love ultimately emerges as the principal tool keeping them going and making it possible for them to struggle in order to achieve their goal.

Mina and Demetrius fight on account of the love they have for each other, Lila fights for her baby, and Ray finds to provide her children with a home. Each of these individuals is in a critical situation but this does not stop them from focusing on their plans.
Poverty fuels them and enables them to employ indifferent attitudes toward society's regulations.

The fact that the central characters are working class individuals is probably an important factors making it possible for them to look at life from a different perspective. Mina and Demetrius know they have very little to lose if they break away from their families, as it is difficult for them to preserve their cultural identities in such a diverse environment. Similarly, Lila does not care that she risks being excluded from her community as long as she continues to smuggle people across the border, as all she cares about is the love she has for her baby.
