WEST NORTH WEST is a Japanese drama in which a bartender's burgeoning friendship with an Iranian art student causes tensions in her romantic relationship.

violence
A man strangles a woman and repeatedly punches her in the face during a fight scene. This is accompanied by bloody aftermath detail.
additional issues
There is a discreet scene of implied cunnilingus. A couple strip down to their underwear in an establishment of sex. Moderate sex references occur, including sexualised use of the term 'f**k'. Infrequent strong language ('f**k') occurs, as well as milder terms such as 'bullshit', 'crap', 'God' and 'damn'. A woman expresses homophobic views about her daughter's same-sex relationship. A character makes an Islamophobic remark about a Muslim character. A man angrily tells a woman speaking in a foreign language to take her phone call elsewhere. However, his behaviour is firmly condemned. Discrimination is not condoned by the work as a whole.
