Seventeen

Parents need to know that Seventeen (Diecisiete) is a coming-of-age dramedy in Spanish with English subtitles. There's plenty of strong language translated from Spanish, including "f--k," "s--t," and "motherf----r." There's also some verbal bullying such as "retard" and "dumbass." The two main characters fear their grandmother may die at any moment of their long RV trip, so a final resting place, last rites, ashes, and burials are frequent topics. Hector is trying to cope with the loss of a dog he trained and bonded with that then was adopted out to someone else. The only sexual content involves relationship problems because of an unplanned pregnancy. There's some drinking. Hector and Isma steal tranquilizers to give their grandmother every 12 hours to help keep her calm on a long RV trip. No diagnosis is mentioned, but main character Hector seems to fall on the autism spectrum where he doesn't relate to or understand other people and interprets everything literally. Ultimately, messages are positive about learning how to accept when things don't turn out the way you wanted.
