The film lacks any evidence of non-cisnormative identities or same-sex intimacy. The focus on military intelligence suggests a strict adherence to the heteronormative structures of 1942.

Narrative agency is almost exclusively male, centered on Captain Enrico Berti and military hierarchy. The film reinforces traditional masculine leadership rather than subverting gender roles.

The story prioritizes European colonial power dynamics between Italian and British forces. It lacks an inclusive portrayal of the North African population in Benghazi.

The film promotes nationalistic ideals and the legitimacy of the Italian presence in North Africa. It serves to validate state authority and the Axis geopolitical order.

There is no indication that disability, neurodivergence, or chronic illness are addressed as narrative elements.
