After We Fell

Hardin is from England. His stepmother and stepbrother are Black. He has two father figures and two stepmothers in his life who care about him. Two male characters struggle with alcoholism, and one is unhoused.

Fist fights break out at a bar and in a house. A man is found drunk, beaten up, and bloodied on the bathroom floor. Hardin reads in Tessa's journal about how much pain he's caused her.

Tessa and Hardin have regular sex, but no private parts are shown. We see them kiss, remove clothing items, kiss body parts, gyrate, and put their hands down their own pants while having "phone sex." We see and hear Hardin opening and ostensibly putting on a condom in several scenes; once when he doesn't have a condom, the couple have to get a morning-after pill and Tessa decides to go on the pill. Hardin says he likes the idea of not wearing a condom with her on a regular basis. They have sex in beds, on gym equipment, and in a hot tub. Another couple is caught having sex on a kitchen counter. A man makes a gesture indicating masturbation after looking at a picture of Tessa.

"F--k," "s--t," "hell," "a--hole," "sucker."

Hardin and Tessa's dad are both alcoholics. Though Hardin manages to control his drinking, he does still drink occasionally. The dad is struggling more, getting fall-down drunk daily and living on the streets. Other adults, young and old, drink wine and other alcohol at various events. A pregnant woman turns down a glass of wine.
