Primary
The film focuses on the apolitical themes of a widower raising his son and their search for a new family unit, resolving in a conventional, emotionally satisfying manner without promoting any specific political ideology.
The movie features a traditional cast with no apparent intentional race or gender swaps of roles. The narrative focuses on traditional family dynamics without critiquing or negatively portraying traditional identities, and DEI themes are not central to the story.
