violence
There are scenes of domestic abuse in which a man chokes his wife when she makes an unwanted sexual advance on him as he lies in bed. A man slaps the woman he is in a relationship with.
threat and horror
Characters become trapped in a burning building, with a man seen catching fire; others are forced to escape by descending from a high window. A crazed woman behaves in a threatening, aggressive way towards another, frightening her. A woman is intimidated after being confronted with a chaotic scene of street performers, including people breathing fire.
language
There is occasional strong language ('f**k') along with milder terms like 'shit',
sex
A sickly, coughing man masturbates vigorously as he looks at his wife in a candlelit room; detail of this is hidden by his legs or shadows. A woman moves her hand over a man's naked body, caressing it sexually before we see her squeezing his penis and testicles and then sniffing her hand. There are brief scenes of sex and we see a man groping a woman's clothed breasts. It is visually implied that a woman masturbates.
discrimination
There are homophobic attitudes. There is use of the antisemitic term 'yid'.
drugs
A woman injects herself with an unspecified substance which she implies will improve her mood. A woman adds drops of an unknown substance to a man's drink.
suicide and self-harm
A woman threatens to take her own life in order to convince a man to begin a relationship with her.
nudity
There is repeated male buttock and penis nudity, with sight of naked men dancing. A woman opens her top to reveal her breasts. We see a naked male dead body.
theme
Several characters appear to experience delusions and disconnection from reality. Verbal references to mental health include mention of nervous breakdowns and depression. We find out a character attends an 'insane asylum'. There are funeral scenes in which we see characters grieving.
