While the story features a female child as one of the only survivors in a post-apocalyptic world that has wiped out most women, the narrative primarily focuses on the relationship between father and daughter. It doesn't feel like a case of shoehorning diversity for the sake of messaging, but the scenario itself is clearly tied to modern concerns about gender roles.

The film explores themes of fatherhood and protection, yet sets them against a world where traditional gender roles are literally upended by the extinction of women. Family and masculinity are earnest, but the premise itself plays with the anxieties of a shifting culture, and subverts the traditional social order for thematic effect.

There isn't the overt caricature or villainization found in some modern films, but the world imagined here is clearly slanted toward exploring concerns through a distinctly progressive lens. Alternative worldviews are not deeply engaged, although the focus remains intimate rather than preachy.
