Suicide themes

We see a character depressed, and drinking a lot. She jokingly tells another character that she will kill herself once she's finished travelling and the character shares that his brother had killed himself. They share a moment talking about the people who have passed. The mentions of suicide are brief and not descriptive but may be impactful for someone affected by suicide.

Mature themes

A character reveals they were the product of a one-night stand, and they don't know who their father is.

We see Covid pandemic hospital scenes with doctors and nurses fully masked up and caring for many patients. There are depictions of exhausted health workers, and we see people close to, and, dying from Covid.

Nudity

We see a couple partially naked sitting on the floor of the bathroom before they jump in the bath in their underwear.

We see a character get out of bed wearing only briefs, before she puts a top on and leaves, implying a one-night stand.

We see a woman showering, her naked form obscured by the shower curtain.

Sex scenes

A couple kiss in bed passionately. There's brief movement and groaning with the camera focused on their faces to imply sex.

We see a couple kissing before he lifts her onto a ledge and goes down on his knees between her legs. We don't see any detail but the camera briefly focuses on her face to show pleasure before it cuts away.

Offensive language

There are only a few instances of strong language, including 'sh*t' and 'you're being sh*tty'.
