language
There is use of strong language ('f**k'), accompanied by other milder terms ('screw', 'bastard' and 'God').
sex
There are scenes of strong sex, including nudity, some of which occur in the context of a woman performing as a cam girl, in which she masturbates herself and begins to undress for a client online.
discrimination
A trans woman grapples with the memory of her mother rejecting her new sex identity. This memory is only ever recalled verbally. There are also references to the fetishising of her body when the woman, who is a sex worker, talks to a potential client over the phone.
sexual violence and sexual threat
A man harrasses a woman while she sits in her car, referring to her as a 'hot girl' and loitering around her car as she tries to reverse out of a parking position.
theme
Emotional scenes involve a family caring for their ailing mother, who is suffering from a brain tumour. We sometimes see the woman in tears from the pain, or in a state of confusion about her surroundings. Family members also deal with years of being estranged from one another.
