By placing this peripheral figure at the center, the film challenges traditional storytelling conventions. The film examines the contrast between socioeconomic displacement and sudden commercial activity. Although it does not explicitly address identity-based issues, it avoids idealized portrayals to highlight systemic invisibility.
