Primary

The narrative offers subtle critiques of societal structures and power dynamics relevant to its setting, without explicitly portraying traditional Western identities negatively.
Secondary

Her life is depicted with empathy and dignity, highlighting her struggles against poverty and violence as external societal issues. Despite the tragic nature of her existence, the film's portrayal affirms her humanity and worth, aligning with a respectful and critical social commentary.
