De Djess disrupts traditional Western societal norms through its use of magical realism. The film elevates transient and underrepresented lifestyles over structured, capitalist storytelling. It critiques established social frameworks by presenting a subjective reality that questions the necessity of institutionalized order. Despite avoiding overt identity politics, the film centers those living on the margins of society.
