Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central conflict, revolving around an individual's extreme obsession and the development of an unconventional relationship, lacks a strong inherent political valence, focusing instead on personal psychology and moral ambiguity rather than advocating for a specific political ideology or systemic critique.
The movie features a traditional Spanish cast appropriate for its setting, without explicit DEI-driven casting choices. Its narrative explores a complex psychological relationship between its main characters, but it does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center on modern DEI themes.
Secondary
The film features a supporting lesbian character, Lola, whose identity is presented factually and without judgment. Her sexuality is incidental to the main plot, neither uplifting nor denigrating, contributing to a neutral overall portrayal of LGBTQ+ themes.
The film portrays a Catholic nun, Sister Antonia, as a compassionate and genuinely helpful figure who provides practical aid and support to the protagonist without judgment. Her actions embody positive virtues often associated with religious charity, contributing to a sympathetic portrayal of an adherent.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
This film features original characters created for the movie. There is no prior source material, historical record, or previous installment from which characters' canonical genders could be established and then altered.
This film is an original work and not an adaptation of existing source material or based on historical figures. Therefore, its characters do not have pre-established racial identities that could be subject to a race swap.
