discrimination
Escher's writings recall the antisemitism in Nazi Germany where he lived with his family in the 1930s. Brief archive footage shows Jewish people being rounded-up, but there is no violence.
drugs
A passage from Escher's writings illustrates his bemusement at the 1960s hippy generation's interest in his work which he considered the product of rationalism and at odds with the ideas of the counter-culture, as he writes ""How could they reconcile it with their addiction to narcotics?"
additional issues
There is natural breast nudity in images of art school drawings of women. There are undetailed references to state-sponsored murder in Communist Russia. There are references to cancer and mental illness. Images of cigarette and cigar smoking reflect older historical periods. There is very mild bad language ('damn', 'God').
