Diversity: Low
Confidence: Medium

The film's casting aligns with traditional practices prevalent in Soviet cinema of its era, featuring a cast that reflects the mainstream demographics without explicit DEI-driven character recasting. Its narrative does not engage in critical portrayals of traditional identities, maintaining a neutral or positive framing consistent with the cinematic norms of its time.

Secondary
