The film does not include any LGBTQ+ characters or relationships, sticking strictly to traditional heterosexual dynamics. The social interactions revolve around conventional heterosexual friendships, without presenting alternative viewpoints or critiques of straight relationships.

Zosia is portrayed as a reactive survivor driven by trauma, while Adam is the main male character who actively drives the plot. The film reinforces traditional gender roles where men take charge and women need protection, without significantly challenging these roles.

The cast is predominantly white and ethnically Polish, reflecting the local demographic. There are no characters of color, and the narrative does not address racial diversity, the way different parts of someone's identity overlap, or broader multicultural themes.

The film is deeply rooted in Polish folklore and pagan superstitions, presenting an insular cultural narrative. It focuses on folk spirituality rather than critiquing Western institutions or broader ideological commentary on power dynamics.

Characters with physical deformities are portrayed as monstrous antagonists, reinforcing the idea that physical differences can be linked to evil. These characters lack ability to act or humanity, using physical abnormalities to evoke fear rather than empathy.
