Sex scenes

We see a couple passionately kissing before moving to the bedroom. They undress each other and we see him bare-chested and her wearing a bra. They’re walked in on by an unexpected visitor and it’s a momentary glimpse of her on top of him, seen from behind. They quickly jump out of bed and cover themselves.

Offensive language

Swearing is used as an exclamation when characters are surprised or in conversation. “F*ck” “sh*t” and “b*tch” are the strongest words used.
