threat and horror
Brief footage shows survivors being carried by emergency responders in the aftermath of the November 2015 Paris terrorist attacks, without visible blood or injury detail.
language
There is infrequent use of strong language (‘f**k’). Milder terms include ‘bullshit’, ‘damn’ and ‘God’.
sex
There are occasional mild references to couples’ sex lives and people to being ‘good’ - or not - in bed.
theme
Focusing on the accounts of his victims, the documentary concerns the actions of a man who conducted romantic relationships with multiple women who did not know of each other's existence. Some of the women had children with him, and believed themselves to be legally married to him. In interviews, the man’s victims describe being subjected to elaborate lies and even gaslit into apologising for questioning suspicious behaviour. In a separate scene, a woman mentions that a former romantic partner hid a tape recorder in their living room in order to spy on her. There is also a brief reference to a person having claimed that his father beat him when he was young.
