The film centers on an elderly Iranian widow rediscovering life and romance, an angle not often explored. While it gives prominence to an underrepresented identity, the focus seems to be more on authentic character development than forceful box-ticking. Any diversity feels relatively organic by today's standards, not just pasted in for point scoring.

There’s a mild sense of challenging conservative cultural attitudes toward aging, romance, and gender, but not in a way that aggressively tears down tradition. Rather, it questions norms gently, more a nudge than a sledgehammer, and respects the humanity of its characters.

The story offers space for complexity and alternative perspectives, not just a one-note ideology. Traditional values aren't villainized outright, and the film doesn’t reduce dissenters to easy targets. There is subtle advocacy for individual freedom, but with room left for debate.
