The Seasons is a visually poetic work focused on the cyclical changes of nature. Since it centers on the natural world rather than human interactions, traditional measures of social hierarchy and personal ability to act do not apply. By abstracting away from human-centric themes, the film achieves a neutral stance on social categories. However, its non-narrative format means it does not engage with multi-layered issues.
