Sex & Nudity

  • The main character's friend sits with him as young female tourists pass by and gawks at them. He discusses how "easy" or "great" they are according to their nationality. He claims to know from experience. They see two girls and the friend comments that they have great "tits." The boys then follow them and buy them dessert.
  • The main character and his friend look up advice online on how to kiss. After some description, the blog says it is learned with practice, and the main character jokingly leans over toward his friend who jokingly pushes him away calling him "maricón".
  • While the main character sits with his new girlfriend, his friend texts him to ask if he's "in there" (possibly referring to the park they scaled the fence into) and if he has touched her "tits" yet. However, all contact between Eric and his girlfriend in the film is a kiss.
  • After a soccer game, boys dress in a locker room. Only waist-up (they're all wearing shorts).
  • A married couple kisses.

Violence & Gore

  • A boy is repeatedly bullied. In one scene he is pushed and held to the ground and his face bleeds. The wound is visible for several subsequent scenes.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • A man drinks alcohol repeatedly while stressed.
  • The bully boys smoke. Noticeable in minute 55.
