The Waves

The story focuses on a man's mourning after his wife's death. There are no explicit representations of LGBTQ+ identities or non-cisgender characters.

The film centers on Miguel, a male protagonist dealing with personal loss. It explores emotional vulnerability but does not delve into the roles of female characters.

Setting the story in a refugee hub introduces significant racial and ethnic diversity. Displaced populations challenge a homogeneous Western perspective.

The film contrasts personal grief with a humanitarian crisis, engaging with systemic themes such as borders, migration, and global power dynamics.

There is no clear indication of physical or neurodivergent representation. The protagonist's grief might involve psychological distress, but this is not explicitly shown.
