Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Sex & Nudity

  • The villain tells his gang that they are going to rape a woman one by one. He breaks into her abode first, and from outside we hear her resisting, "Suéltame!" (Let me go!). This lasts for about 30 seconds.

Violence & Gore

  • The villain shoots and kills a boy for jumping the wall of his property to take water from his well.
  • The protagonist shoots the villain several times after he (tries to?) rapes her offscreen. The townspeople converge on the villain's gang and we hear gunshots as they kill them.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • A small boy wanders up to the schoolhouse late. The teacher learns that he is intoxicated because there is no water to drink.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The final scenes of the film are not graphic, and end positively, but they could be distressing. The climax because we hear the protagonist resisting rape off-screen. We are perhaps relieved when she shoots the villain several times on-screen. However, she later falls ill from a heart condition and expresses her emotions intensely as she advocates for the children and as she nears death.
