The film lacks explicit LGBTQ+ characters or identities. However, it explores passionate relationships that challenge social norms, while remaining centered on a heterosexual romantic framework.

The film challenges traditional hierarchies by centering a female protagonist who play a significant role in driving the story. She actively shapes her own desires rather than being a passive object of the colonial gaze.

An interracial relationship between a French woman and a Vietnamese man serves as a central mechanism. This connection disrupts racial homogeneity and critiques the hierarchies of the colonial project.

The narrative critiques Western colonial institutions by portraying them as structures in a state of breakdown. It prioritizes personal liberation and subjective experience over traditional Western morality.

There are no prominent depictions of physical or neurodivergent disabilities that impact the character arcs or plot progression.
