The film includes minor, incidental depictions of same-sex relationships and gender non-conformity among the resort guests. These portrayals are observational and not central to the main narrative. They are neither explicitly affirmed nor denigrated, resulting in a neutral overall impact on LGBTQ+ themes.

The film includes a character, Miss Universe, whose visual depiction implies she is transsexual. Her portrayal is dignified and beautiful, and the revelation of her body is met with quiet contemplation by other characters, not ridicule. Her trans identity is not a central theme or source of misery, nor is it deeply explored, resulting in a neutral overall impact.

The film portrays family life as complex and often fraught with unresolved issues, depicting marital infidelity and divorce as realities, and a central father-daughter relationship marked by resentment and questioned parental authority, thus leaning away from traditional family norms.

A silent Buddhist monk character is a recurring presence at the spa, depicted as serene, wise, and a source of calm. His presence and actions, including levitation, are presented with a sense of wonder and respect, offering a peaceful contrast to the anxieties of other characters.

The film features a character identified as the Pope, who is portrayed with deep humanity, vulnerability, and introspection as he grapples with his faith, memories, and the burden of his role. The narrative treats his internal conflict and eventual decision to resign with respect and empathy, exploring the personal dimension of faith rather than critiquing the institution.
