sex
A young man reluctantly takes a job to fulfill another man's cleaning fetish, which involves him cleaning windows in his underwear while the man watches, rubbing his crotch and becoming aroused. There are also more moderate references to sexting.
sexual violence and sexual threat
The above encounter leads to the young man being masturbated and fellated; however, no strong detail is shown. While consent is vocalised, the scene suggests the employer is taking advantage of the young man, who does not always appear comfortable during the encounter.
additional issues
Repeated references are made to euthanasia and cryogenics, which are treated in a comic and unrealistic manner. There is infrequent use of strong language ('f**k'), which is accompanied by other milder terms ('shit', 'bloody', 'hell', 'God' and 'damn'). The film also contains verbal references to drug taking, and visuals of joint preparation, as well as fantastical sequences involving gun threat and the undetailed beheading of a mythical creature.
