Alta is the sole human female of this film and the planet she inhabits.

The men obviously view the naïve Alta as nothing more than an outlet for their lust, and are competing to "get" her. One of them makes out with her under the guise of "it's good for your health to kiss". Ick.

Alta gets a *tiny* bit of agency in persuading her father of the true situation, but it's really tiny. And yes, it fails the test at the first hurdle.
