Yes, Alberto gets wet in the rain and turns into his sea monster self, and he tries to distract the towns people from Luca who is at risk of getting wet. Luca ends up getting exposed, but it turns out okay!

Previous comment is true, Luca spits water at Alberto, Alberto pick his nose and flicks it at one point and Giulia lifts her arms to reveal pit stains if anyone is grossed out by these, Luca also burps during the race

there is a lot of eating (including eating with hands), so be careful if watching people eat is triggering for you.
