The film does not include any LGBTQ+ characters or stories about non-straight identities. The main focus is on surviving economically and interacting with people from different cultures.

The story revolves around a male protagonist who interacts with a diverse group of street children. While there are no direct discussions about gender hierarchies, the mix of characters offers opportunities for varied portrayals.

The film features a protagonist with French-Maghrebi heritage living in Romania. This creates a complex blend of North African and Eastern European identities, challenging the uniformity often found in Western-centric dramas.

By focusing on the boskettari, the film highlights the failures of the system after the fall of Ceausescu. It looks at political and economic changes through the lens of social victimhood.

There is no explicit mention of physical or neurodivergent disabilities. However, the street children face extreme physical hardships and systemic neglect that can affect their health.
