The film contains no LGBTQ+ characters or non-cisnormative identities. The narrative focuses exclusively on the survival of ethnic and familial units during the genocide.

The story subverts traditional war tropes by centering female agency. Matriarchal figures act as the primary drivers of decision-making and familial stability amidst social collapse.

The film provides a nuanced portrayal of the Romani experience and the Porajmos. It grants high agency to the Romani community, moving them from the periphery to the center.

The narrative critiques state-driven authority and institutional corruption. It explores how characters navigate moral relativism and the abandonment of social norms to ensure family protection.

There is no dedicated focus on disability agency. The film depicts the general physical and psychological toll of displacement rather than specific neurodivergent or physical disabilities.
