Under the Riccione Sun

The film follows traditional assumptions about straight relationships and gender. It does not include clear representations of LGBTQ+ identities or challenge societal norms related to these identities.

Female characters play significant roles in driving the story and have their own romantic pursuits. They avoid being passive objects of the male gaze and engage in meaningful conversations with each other.

The casting primarily features Italian youth, reflecting a homogeneous demographic. The narrative does not blend different ethnicities or use race-bent casting as central themes.

The story focuses on individual emotional journeys rather than critiquing broader societal structures. It explores youth culture through a conventional lens without questioning Western social norms or religious morality.

The main cast is mostly made up of able-bodied and neurotypical individuals. There is no visible or invisible disability represented in the character arcs or development.
