language
There is infrequent strong language ('f**k'), as well as milder terms such as 'bitch', 'ass', 'shit', 'God', 'damn' and 'hell'.
sex
There are undetailed references to a woman working as a sex worker. Milder sex references include a man being instructed to say that he has a low sperm count as he is prepared for an undercover role in a police investigation of baby trafficking.
sexual violence and sexual threat
A couple who are the prospective buyers of a kidnapped baby ask about its father, and when no information is forthcoming the husband says, ""Don't tell me it was rape or anything like that".
The treatment of the film's theme of baby trafficking is understated and without strongly harrowing moments. There are passing and undetailed references to abortion and an adopted child being abused. There is mild violence as a man puts a choke-hold on another man who passes out. There are murder references, including mild bloody images at the crime scene and sight of the victim's body lying covered in a morgue. There is brief mild threat.
