The film lacks explicit LGBTQ+ identities or narratives. It relies on a heteronormative gaze, specifically a young boy's fascination with a woman, which follows traditional archetypes of desire.

A significant power imbalance exists through the voyeuristic male gaze directed at a female figure. While the woman possesses an ethereal presence, she primarily serves as an object of male preoccupation.

Set in 1930s France, the cast is predominantly white and European. While historically consistent, the film does not attempt to disrupt this homogeneous norm through intersectional casting.

The film utilizes religious motifs and liturgical symbolism to frame mortality. It focuses on individual existentialism rather than offering critiques of Western institutions or organized religion.

There are no identifiable depictions of physical or neurodivergent disabilities that serve as central character traits or drive the narrative.
