In the beginning, the main character vomits on the street. Its not very graphic but you might want to look away for a few seconds. It doesn’t happen suddenly, so you see him looking sick in the „Straßenbahn“(I habe no idea what they‘re called in english). After he throws up a woman takes a bucket and washed the vomit away. You can look again when she‘s done with it

He is 15, she is 36
At least in the book. But I think the age gap in the movie is similar. He‘s a minor and she is in not that young anymore.
An other problem is, that this relationship isn‘t really criticised by anyone
