 The characters are also often shown on screen in exaggerated ways; characters are shown far away from the camera to emphasize how distant from society Emmi and Ali feel, while their apartment is shot in a claustrophobic manner, to symbolize the fear they feel in their relationship and everyday life.Spectatorship in the film embodies social oppression against marginalized individuals, yet ironically, such distanciation diminishes when the neighborhood sees a utilitarian need in Emmi and Ali, as "productive and consuming bodies".
