El pacto explores adolescent ability to act by centering on a group of seven teenage girls who make the controversial decision to become pregnant simultaneously. This collective action serves as a sociological study, challenging the stability of their small seaside community and the authority of the adults around them. The film places the driving force of the plot in the hands of female protagonists, emphasizing their motivations over institutional scrutiny. However, the work appears limited by a lack of racial and LGBTQ+ visibility. The focus remains on a localized, potentially homogeneous group, which restricts the narrative's breadth regarding broader identity politics.
