There is a first person sight of someone facing a pillow, as if going to sleep, near the beginning. Around this point, some have suggested a snorting sound similar to insufflating cocaine can be heard. No explicit use of drugs, but there is a main character who appears very strung out.

A woman auditions for a role in a film. During her audition, her scene partner is a little handsy. It’s hard to determine if she is uncomfortable with this scenerio and is just going along to further her career, or if she is enthusiastically enjoying it.

There is no vomit, but a man spits out espresso onto a napkin (about half an hour in) which can be potentially triggering.

The "Club Silencio" sequence involves postulating the unreality of recorded media in a similar way to the artwork "La Trahison des images/The Treachery of Images". There are no deliberate fourth wall breaks, but it is recommended not to watch this film in an existentially delicate state of mind.
