Our Ghost is a character-driven study that highlights the vulnerabilities caused by socioeconomic marginalization. It prioritizes the impact of systemic issues over identity-based activism. By centering characters displaced by poverty, the film deconstructs the myth of a stable, middle-class household. While the film lacks explicit demographic diversity regarding race and LGBTQ+ identities, it provides a progressive look at unconventional family structures. The narrative successfully transitions from a comedic premise to a complex exploration of trauma and survival.
Category Breakdown
The film does not include any explicit LGBTQ+ characters or narratives that explore queer identities. It focuses on traditional family dynamics without critiquing the assumption that everyone is straight or cisgender.
The story challenges gender stereotypes by focusing on a single father in a caregiving role. It also emphasizes the role of a woman, Myriam, who escapes from an abusive situation.
The narrative seems to focus on a homogeneous, local community facing social struggles. There is no indication of a diverse or non-white cast in the production.
The film critiques capitalist systems by showing housing as a source of instability rather than security. It explores survival through situational ethics and deception.
There are no explicit representations of physical or neurodivergent disabilities in the film. Instead, it touches upon the psychological resilience needed to cope with systemic trauma and instability.

Official Synopsis
Valerio and his six-year-old son, Carlo, live in the attic above the apartment they've been evicted from. Every time new tenants arrive, they terrify them by pretending to be ghosts, in the hopes of being able to move back "downstairs". To Carlo, it's just a game that protects him from their poverty and his motherless condition. It even works, for a while, until Myriam and her daughter Emma arrive, in flight from her abusive husband. And Myriam's not afraid of ghosts…
