The film centers entirely on a solitary protagonist. Because there are no secondary characters or interpersonal relationships, there is no depiction of non-heteronormative identities.

The story focuses exclusively on a male protagonist in total solitude. It avoids subverting traditional gender roles by lacking the social context required to challenge gender hierarchies.

The focus on psychological states and elemental environments results in a lack of racial or ethnic plurality. It deconstructs colonial tropes through abstraction rather than diverse casting.

Pollet disrupts the Western hero's journey by prioritizing subjective, existential truth over linear progression. The film rejects structured social institutions like religion and family in favor of sensory reality.

There is no explicit depiction of physical or neurodivergent disability. The film's focus on psychological vulnerability remains a thematic subtext rather than a representational achievement.
