Our take
Filming a provocative series is the setup for this TV-MA meta-drama, with storylines both on set and off. Sexual violence themes get talked through, alongside heavy swearing, drinking between takes, and harassment that spills into gossip and social media. Dark industry satire keeps the whole thing adult. Adults only is the honest call here.
Story (may spoil tone)
The film deals with the filming of an episode of the series with storylines that take place both within the fiction with the characters of 'Aída' and outside of it with the actors themselves and their relationships, which reflects on topics such as the limits of comedy, the work of a comedian and fame.

Arguments on set throw around b-word, the s-word, and damn, plus a couple of f-word lines. The swearing is adult comedy talk, short of a wall-to-wall f-word barrage

Around the set you get kisses and crude kiss jokes, and sex comes up in workplace gossip. Heavier assault talk belongs under sexual violence, not this category
Drugs / alcohol Between takes, people smoke and argue about beer versus tequila on set.…
Between takes, people smoke and argue about beer versus tequila on set. Someone even says alcohol can beat pills, though it stays social substance talk with no hard-drug montage
Sexual violence A non-consensual touch on set and sexual harassment that spills onto so…
A non-consensual touch on set and sexual harassment that spills onto social media come up in talk. One person also mentions being drugged and raped at a festival in the past. Everything is spoken about; no assault scene is shown
Bullying / discrimination Sexist, homophobic, and racist stereotypes get called out in dialogue,…
Sexist, homophobic, and racist stereotypes get called out in dialogue, and someone worries an Asian character would get bullied. Workplace power games and cancel-culture pile-ons sit inside the meta storytelling

One fan says his brother died last year and that he loved the show. Other 'good grief' lines are just exclamations, not actual mourning scenes
