The Earthquake

The film does not include any visible LGBTQ+ characters or stories about non-straight identities. The plot revolves around the survival of victims during a disaster.

The story focuses on two male protagonists who lead rescue efforts. This follows a traditional dramatic structure that emphasizes conventional masculine roles of heroism and physical labor.

The film achieves meaningful ethnic diversity through international cooperation. By featuring a Russian protagonist alongside an Armenian one, the movie highlights cross-cultural interaction during a crisis.

The film operates within a framework of traditional humanism. It focuses on preserving life and community rather than critiquing religious or state-based morality.

Characters with physical impairments may appear among the survivors. However, they are shown primarily as victims of the disaster and lack independent ability to act.
