violence
A man is physically and verbally abusive towards his daughter, which is mostly depicted off-screen. There are further visual and verbal references to domestic abuse throughout the film. A man is physically and verbally aggressive towards another following a misunderstanding in a shop.
language
There is infrequent use of very strong language ('c**t'), accompanied by more frequent use of strong language ('f**k'), as well as other milder terms ('cock', 'prick', 'bitch', 'pussy', 'shit', 'dick', 'tits', 'bloody', 'hell', 'Jesus', 'Christ' and 'God').
sex
A scene in a sex shop contains visual and written references to BDSM and fetish wear, such as sex toys and gimp masks. There are also scenes of sex, such as two characters wearing fetish masks and engaging in role play, which also includes sexualised breast nudity and implied oral sex. In another sequence, a teenage character watches two people engage in sexual activity on a darkened street.
discrimination
A drunken woman directs homophobic and other discriminatory comments towards two friends in a toilet cubicle. The drunken woman uses aggressive terms, such as 'dyke', and taunts a gender-queer character about their apparent lack of penis.
drugs
There are visual references to poppers in a sex shop.
sexual violence and sexual threat
A tense and awkward encounter with an older man leaves a gender-queer character feeling scared, to the point where they wet themselves. Discussions among friends about the man infer that they feel threatened by him, with sexual violence also suggested, but left ambiguous.
injury detail
There is brief sight of menstrual blood on a character's hand. In another scene, a character has a cut lip after being hit in the face accidentally with a swing.
alcohol and smoking
In several scenes, teenage characters get drunk and smoke cigarettes.
