Sex and nudity in Airplane Mode
Content is very light. There is a budding romance between the main character and a local boy, which includes some flirting and one kiss at a festival. There is no innuendo, nudity, or other sexual content.
Violence and gore in Airplane Mode
There is one key scene of peril early in the film where a character, distracted by her phone, crashes her car. The impact is shown but it is not graphic or bloody, serving as a plot catalyst rather than a moment of intense violence. A later scene involves a heated, but not physical, confrontation.
Language in Airplane Mode
Effectively none. The original Portuguese dialogue and standard English subtitles are free of strong profanity. Any exclamations are minor and equivalent to "darn" or "gosh."
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Airplane Mode
There is some infrequent social drinking by adult characters. Ana's grandfather is briefly seen with a drink, and other adults may be seen with beer or wine in the background during a town festival scene. No emphasis is placed on this consumption, and no underage drinking occurs.
Mature themes in Airplane Mode
Thematic content is moderate and central to the plot. The film explores the negative aspects of social media, including addiction and the creation of a fake, curated life. It features scenes of emotional distress, including a public breakup via livestream, the betrayal of a friendship, corporate espionage (a boss stealing designs), and familial conflict.
