Scenes
An opening montage shows a series of overhead shots of various people in bathrooms stalls. Most of them are not actually peeing but are doing various other activities, such as changing a baby's diapers, fighting, and taking selfies. The only one shown peeing is a man on his phone, a stream is slightly visible and there's audio
The opening montage ends with Dom (David Jonsson), crying in a bathroom stall over his breakup. His private moment is interrupted by Yas (Vivian Oparah) talking to herself in the bathroom and then peeing loudly in the stall next to him. A wide shot shows the both of them sitting on the toilet
When Dom describes the break up with his ex, he claims that during a video call with her, he saw someone's penis in the background. He claimed that he recognized the penis belonged to his best friend Eric (Benjamin Sarpong-Broni) A flashback is shown to explain why he recognizes the penis, the two of them sing and pee together in the bathroom. The camera is at a low angle, the two of them face the camera, no nudity is shown but the stream is cartoonishly high and messy.
Eric later describes getting fired from a kitchen job because he didn't want to walk down the stairs to the bathroom so kept peeing in water bottles.
Yas is later shown peeing on the toilet in closeup, audio is heard but she's also singing.
