The film lacks explicit LGBTQ+ characters or narratives. The focus remains on the political tensions and survival of hostages within a traditional wartime framework.

Agency is primarily attributed to a male-dominated group of prisoners. While women are not explicitly excluded, the narrative centers on male figures like the doctor and the aristocrat.

The setting in 1944 France suggests a predominantly white, European cast. There is no visible evidence of racial intersectionality within the primary group of prisoners.

The story effectively deconstructs social hierarchies by placing an aristocrat alongside a wanderer and a black market dealer. It prioritizes collective resistance over traditional class structures.

The character Béquille provides visible representation of physical disability through his wooden leg. He is integrated into the central ensemble of prisoners.
