The film features a lesbian couple, Antonio's sister Clara and her wife Natalie, who are depicted as a loving and stable part of his family. Their relationship is normalized and portrayed positively, contributing to the film's affirming representation of LGBTQ+ individuals without being central to the main plot.

The 2022 film is a remake of the 2006 French movie "La Doublure." The lead character, originally portrayed by a Moroccan-French actor, is played by a Mexican actor in the remake, constituting a race swap.

The film portrays Catholicism, particularly through Antonio's devout mother, as a positive source of strength, community, and moral guidance for the immigrant family. Her faith is depicted with respect and sympathy, serving as a grounding force in their lives.
