Primary
The film's central conflict and its resolution are deeply personal and cultural, focusing on individual relationships, family dynamics, and the universal challenges of love and illness, rather than promoting any specific political ideology.
The movie features a diverse lead character and explores cross-cultural relationships, highlighting the experiences of an immigrant family. While it presents visible diversity and cultural themes, it does not explicitly recast traditional roles or frame traditional identities negatively, focusing instead on personal and familial dynamics.
Secondary
