language
Use of strong language ('f**k', 'motherf**ker') is accompanied by moderate ('slut', 'dick') and milder terms such as 'asshole', 'shit', 'bastard', 'balls' and 'damn'.
sex
In a comic sequence, a taxi driver confesses to a priest that, during his youth, he had sex with a pumpkin and a sheep. He later describes, in detail, a sexual encounter with his sister in law. He also stops the car to talk to some sex workers. There are brief moderate sex scenes with some thrusting and a glimpse of buttock nudity.
additional issues
Two Black men and a white man display racist behaviours towards a Black, African taxi driver; they reference that he is from the 'jungle' and that the colour of his skin explains his driving. Discrimination is not condoned and the men are called racists. A ill man slowly but comically dies in the back of a car. References are made to the death of a baby who was born prematurely. Characters frequently smoke.
