drugs
There are infrequent scenes of solvent abuse involving teenagers.
sexual violence and sexual threat
There is a sequence depicting sexually abusive behaviour in which a man sells the sexual services of his vulnerable, disabled sister to a pair of teenage boys. However, the sexual activity is implied and occurs off-screen. During a voiceover, a young woman recollects being sexually abused by her father as a child; these references are prolonged and carry an unsettling tone. In one scene, a man attempts to grope a young woman, however, this is brief and his behaviour is immediately challenged and criticised.
additional issues
There is undetailed sight of pornographic magazines, as well as sexualised breast nudity. There is discriminatory behaviour and language, including racism and homophobia; however, discrimination is not endorsed by the work as a whole. Occasional strong language ('motherf**ker', 'f**k') occurs, as well as moderate ('bitch', 'pussy', 'dick', 'ho') and milder terms ('shit', 'tits', 'asshole', 'ass', 'crap', 'hell', 'damn', 'God'). There are verbal references to suicide ideation. A visual reference to self-harm is accompanied by bloody images. There are disturbing scenes involving characters toying with dead cats, as well as graphic verbal references to killing animals using poison and glass. A teenage boy shoots an elderly, catatonic woman in her foot using a bb gun, while his accomplice turns off her life support. Other moments of violence include characters exchanging crunchy punches during a rough play fight.
