Caroline is "a bit jealous of Sarah"? Haha, I think that's the understatement of the year. Caroline lies to Mr. Zao and tells him that she overheard a phone call Sarah was having in which she said Zao was "bothering her". So, not only does Sarah rob Zao of any closure, he is left thinking that he was nothing to Sarah, a nuisance. He is left crushed and hurt, and all because of Caroline's petty jealousy.
That is sort of the theme of the movie though, how other people's jealousy intrudes upon relationships. This is true of the various people in the building that either try to convince Zao to abandon Sarah, separate the two or as in the case of Castellac, tries to seduce and then sexually assaults Sarah. Of course, this is a theme with Sarah too, in her relationship with Philippe and her jealousy of his wife, her "understudy" Sylvia Martin.
