The film centers queer characters and relationships with complexity and agency, using them allegorically to affirm identity, love, and resistance against assimilation pressures in a genre-bending narrative.

The film centers a self-described academic ladyboy in a affirming queer romance with a ghost repairman, using the relationship allegorically to explore queer struggles like family disapproval and discrimination as external obstacles. The ladyboy character exercises agency in love and deduction, contributing to a broader positive portrayal of queer and trans-adjacent identities as sites of protest and connection. For example, the ladyboy's arc culminates in mutual attraction and intimacy that validates non-normative love.

The film centers on a widower's unconventional reunion with his deceased wife's ghost possessing a vacuum cleaner, which his traditional family (led by his rigid mother and conservative in-laws) strongly rejects through exorcism attempts, police involvement, and electroshock therapy to sever the bond. The narrative portrays the couple's enduring love and desire to restart their family positively while depicting traditional family authority and norms as obstructive and ultimately yielding to the non-traditional arrangement.

Buddhist monks and exorcism rituals are shown as part of the conservative establishment attempting to suppress the ghost relationship, portrayed through irreverent comedy as hypocritical and cruel with empty rituals.
