violence
A man references getting the 'belt' from his father after he stole some beer and a woman light-heartedly describes being caned at school by her teachers and then at home by her parents. Brief and undetailed references are made to a man's murder.
language
Infrequent use of strong language ('f**k') is accompanied by milder terms such as 'bastard' and 'God'.
sex
References are made to areas of London historically being home to a number of brothels and there are other infrequent milder references to relationships and sex.
discrimination
There are references to ageism as older people poignantly describe feeling excluded from society due to the reliance on technology. A woman talks about the discrimination she experienced as child due to what part of London she lived and the fact she was seen as 'common'. Brief references are made to sexism and a man describes a mental health institution as having 'nutcases' inside. There is an allusion to transphobia and references to a man's experiences of homophobia. Discrimination is clearly not condoned by the film.
drugs
Occasional verbal drug references occur including a man singing song lyrics about snorting cocaine. A man remembers having a bad experience whilst smoking marijuana but states that it did not put him off drugs.
nudity
There is very brief natural breast nudity in a photograph of an indigenous African woman.
theme
A man becomes tearful as he describes losing his wife and how this has impacted him. References are made to a mother's struggle with schizophrenia. There are also mentions of cancer and dementia.
