Looking for Eric

Most of the cast is White and male with any characters of color reduced to minor supporting roles. Central to the film is an imagined friendship between a character who is living with mental illness and a real-life French soccer player. The portrayal of the character's mental health is sympathetic, but also honest, with their friends showing them support. The characters are representative of lower-income and underserved societies.

A character stores a gun for a gang member. During an altercation with their parent, they hit them in the head with the weapon. It's later revealed that the same gun was used to shoot someone, who survived the attack. Gang members set dogs on an innocent person to scare them. Armed police aim their weapons when arresting civilians. A group of masked people attack a property with baseball bats, smashing up the car and house, and shooting the owner with red paint. A character looks back over a violent incident from their past, while another condones their actions. Violent threats are made.

Characters are seen sitting around watching pornography on the television -- nothing explicit is shown. A character comes out of a bedroom fully naked holding their genitals to protect their dignity.
