The film succeeds in decentering human ability to act, offering a perspective that prioritizes planetary health over human-centric progress. By focusing on the biological rhythms of the Earth during lockdown, it provides a unique, non-human centered view of the world. However, the lack of human characters means the film cannot address social identities like gender, race, or LGBTQ+ status through characterization. It relies on geographic scope and ecological themes to provide its version of diversity.
