Sex and nudity in Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga
This is the primary driver of the rating. The film contains frequent crude jokes and references to male genitalia, including the recurring song "Jaja Ding Dong." A lengthy party sequence features multiple, non-photorealistic but prominent statues of nude men with exaggeratedly large penises. Two main characters are shown in bed together (clothed from the shoulders up), but no sexual activity occurs. One character's performance involves suggestive dancing.
Violence and gore in Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga
Violence is infrequent and consistently played for comic or fantastical effect. In a moment of dark comedy, a boat full of people explodes off-screen, killing them all; this is treated as a plot device. A character is suddenly killed by being stabbed in the back with a knife, though the act is swift and not graphic. Other violence is limited to accidents during performances, such as a prop malfunctioning and rolling into the audience.
Language in Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga
Language is moderate, highlighted by a single use of the F-word. Other profanity includes several uses of "shit" and milder terms like "hell" and "damn." The film's dialogue also contains crude and suggestive humor that contributes to the mature tone.
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga
Social drinking is present throughout the film, primarily in bar and party settings where characters consume beer, wine, and liquor. In one scene at a party, a main character drinks to excess and is later shown feeling ill, though no vomiting is depicted on screen. There is no drug use.
Mature themes in Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga
The film deals with themes of ambition, loyalty, an underdog story, and prioritizing love and relationships over fame. There are also darker themes handled comically, such as mass death being used as a source of unlikely good fortune for the protagonists. The film also briefly touches on the idea that a character's sexuality is a secret.
