violence
Mild violence includes off-screen shootings and gun threat, as well as a man punching another in a bar.
sex
There are mild verbal references to sex, including a man being accused of looking at images of naked women.
discrimination
There are verbal references to paraplegic men being treated differently to others. In one scene, a man and his girlfriend leave a restaurant after other guests stare at them. There is use of the term 'cripple' in a self-referential way. These attitudes do not define the film as a whole, however, which portrays several men facing adversity by practicing new ways of living with their disability.
There is use of very mild bad language, such as 'moron'. Characters smoke cigarettes, reflecting the period.
