Primary
The film focuses on the universal human experience of personal reinvention and healing after loss, championing individual resilience and the pursuit of happiness without engaging with specific political issues or promoting an ideological agenda.

The narrative focuses on a personal journey of self-discovery and romance, framing traditional identities neutrally or positively without explicit DEI themes or critiques.
Secondary
