Social-Class

In her article about the film - Janina Falkowska describes the brutality of the effects class societies have on the lower-class, emphasizing on the ‘hopelessness’ of the latter and false hope of the former.

Law and Politics

Falkowska also talks about the law as a personified entity – capable of being both just and unjust, responsible for saving and ruining lives. Its integrity is thus significant to the fate of the protagonist.
