The film functions primarily as a social drama centered on class and survival. While the protagonist's decision to adopt a masculine persona offers a degree of gender subversion, the narrative structure remains traditional. The story relies on a male figure to provide the protagonist with stability and a structured social role. Ultimately, the film operates within the realm of conventional social realism. It lacks evidence of deep multi-layered character development or a systemic critique of the socioeconomic conditions presented.
