The film contains no non-heteronormative identities or narratives. Character dynamics focus exclusively on sibling bonds and the conflict with the witch.

The story relies on traditional gendered archetypes. While the children show agency, the roles mirror historical tropes of vulnerable children and predatory female antagonists.

The production maintains a homogeneous European aesthetic. It lacks multicultural integration, reinforcing a traditional Western and Eurocentric historical framework.

The film follows standard Western storytelling and moral frameworks. It uses poverty as a plot device rather than a critique of socioeconomic structures.

There is no representation of visible or invisible disabilities. The narrative focuses strictly on physical survival and magical elements.
