■ Primary Axis
- Entry: Child abandoned to a hostile world
Reason: The child is placed outside protection and forced to survive among adults whose social order has collapsed
Related Film: Come and See - Middle: Outsider as target of collective cruelty
Reason: Difference becomes a justification for violence, expulsion, and ritualized humiliation
Related Film: The Ascent - Core: Humanity after repeated dehumanization
Reason: The conclusion approaches a territory where survival itself is inseparable from the loss and recovery of human recognition

■ Secondary Axes
- War as moral collapse: Violence is not limited to battle but spreads into village, family, religion, and custom
Related Film: The Tin Drum - Silent witness: The child’s gaze records a world where language and innocence are progressively broken
