The film focuses on the survival of male protagonists within the intersections of poverty. There is no explicit depiction of non-cisnormative identities or narratives that critique heteronormativity.

The narrative centers primarily on male experiences and the struggles of young men in urban environments. Women appear within the social fabric but often occupy roles defined by their relationships to men.

The film provides a profound departure from Anglo-centric storytelling by centering an entirely non-Western cast. It disrupts conventional norms by focusing on the urban poor in Tehran.

The narrative critiques economic disparity and the systemic hardships faced by the lower class. It challenges traditional moral frameworks by portraying morality as situational and driven by survival.

The film does not center on specific physical or neurodivergent disabilities. However, it treats the 'disability' of poverty with agency, showing characters as active agents rather than passive victims.
