Throughout the film, the general wears a jacket with two stars on each collar. As he is quarantined on the island, he has no other clothes, just the uniform he was wearing when he arrived. However, when the general confronts Davis and Thea in the woods, his jacket has no stars on the collar. In the next scene in which he appears, the next morning, the stars are again on the jacket collar.

At the 36th minute, the general leaves the house and goes outside. Two of the buttons on his jacket are fastened. When he approaches the burnt offering on the patio, only one buttoned is fastened. After he makes his offering and hears the old woman laughing, he turns and walks towards her, now the jacket is completely open with no buttons fastened. When he then confronts her face to face in the next camera shot, the jacket is back to having two buttons fastened.

General Pherides has two stars on his collar to denote his rank, whereas Doctor Drossos has epaulettes of knotted embroidery. The Hellenic Army of the Balkans War did not use insignia on collars to denote rank. Rank was indicated on epaulettes. A Lieutenant General's epaulette had two large silver stars on gold embroidery with red edging. A Captain's epaulette has three smaller silver stars on a striped epaulette (red-gold-red).
