The film lacks explicit depictions of non-heteronormative identities or queer narratives. The social landscape remains rooted in traditional 1960s Mediterranean structures.

Women are largely depicted within traditional domestic or social spheres. However, the film allows female characters to participate in the psychological maneuvering and social aggression seen in their male counterparts.

The cast is largely homogeneous, reflecting the specific Adriatic coastal demographic of the era. There is no evidence of diverse casting or non-European identities.

Maselli excels in critiquing established social and economic institutions. The film disrupts the romanticization of the upper class by portraying wealthy youth as vicious and aimless.

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