Its narrative explores social class and power dynamics within society, offering a critique of these structures rather than explicitly focusing on or negatively portraying traditional identities.
Secondary
The film includes a significant same-sex sexual relationship within a prison context, which is portrayed as a transactional element for the protagonist's survival and rise in power.
