Trois petites filles uses historical context to explore complex social tensions. It avoids a simplistic view of French provincial life by incorporating the political unrest of the Algerian War into the social fabric. Though the film does not feature modern multi-layered markers or explicit identity-driven casting, it shifts the focus away from adult male-dominated structures by prioritizing female perspectives. This approach highlights the intricacies of the post-colonial era through the eyes of children, even without diverse modern identity markers.

By focusing on the inner lives and roles of three young girls, the film challenges traditional patriarchal structures. However, the portrayals stay true to the era's social norms without modern twists.
Set during the Algerian War of Independence, the film introduces important post-colonial conflicts. Although the cast is primarily French, the historical backdrop prevents a completely homogeneous European perspective.
The story contrasts the innocence of childhood against the decline of a colonial empire. This approach questions the stability of Western institutions during the 1960s.
