The short film focuses heavily on identity and sexual orientation, placing these aspects at the center of the plot. There is an emphasis on representation over more traditional coming-of-age themes, and character development seems driven by the need to foreground LGBT issues. This leads to some moments that may feel more about making a point than natural storytelling.

The film largely sidesteps references to religion, family structure, or traditional masculinity. Instead, it challenges conventional attitudes, subtly presenting queer relationships and identity discovery as normative, subtly undermining what some might view as foundational values.

Dissenting perspectives such as discomfort or conflict around sexuality are present but largely unexplored or shown as obstacles to be overcome. Alternative viewpoints aren’t deeply represented, with the narrative pushing for affirmation of the protagonist’s feelings.
