The film features a traditional, predominantly white cast typical of its era and setting, without any intentional diversity in casting or character representation. Its narrative focuses on a personal psychological drama and a critique of individual character flaws and societal superficiality, rather than engaging with or critiquing traditional identities or explicit DEI themes.
