The film lacks identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or storylines. The narrative focuses entirely on the mechanics of a viral outbreak, leaving no room for non-cisnormative identities.

Women appear in roles of professional and religious authority, such as social workers and nuns. However, these characters are defined by survival rather than a subversion of gender hierarchies.

The ensemble is largely homogeneous, consisting primarily of individuals of European descent. The rural Spanish setting results in a cast that reflects a specific, non-diverse demographic.

The story explores the fragility of religious sanctuary within a Catholic convent. The breakdown of church authority serves as a genre trope rather than a systemic critique of religion.

There is no meaningful representation of physical or neurodivergent disabilities. Character physical states are dictated by the virus as a plot device for horror.
