Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central thesis explicitly critiques the lingering trauma and disillusionment stemming from Greece's political history and the unfulfilled promises of its post-junta era, focusing on urban alienation and individual psychological suffering as a direct consequence of systemic and historical failures.
The film features traditional casting typical of its era and origin, without explicit DEI-driven recasting. While it may subtly critique patriarchal societal norms through its narrative, it does not explicitly portray traditional identities negatively or make a broad DEI critique central to its themes.
Secondary
