By Design

No LGBTQ+ characters appear in the film’s narrative or cast. Relationships and identities remain strictly heterosexual and cisgender throughout. This absence leaves queer audiences without visible representation.

Camille drives the story as a woman whose body-swap with a chair exposes how others value her. Her shifting form highlights gendered expectations and objectification. The narrative keeps her experience central.

Mamoudou Athie appears as Olivier, a prominent lead alongside Juliette Lewis. His presence adds racial diversity to the core cast. Other characters’ racial identities remain unspecified in available material.

The film critiques social status and objectification through its surreal body-swap premise. It examines how physical presence shapes cultural value and interpersonal treatment. These themes resonate beyond specific cultural markers.

No characters with physical or mental disabilities are depicted. The narrative focuses on objectification through form rather than disability experience. This gap limits broader representation of diverse bodies.
