Sex & Nudity

  • Contains a brief sex scene which is viewed from behind as two characters groan and thrust against one another. This scene is devoid of explicit detail or nudity.
  • Also contains occasional nudity as women are seen undressing whilst showering or modeling. Sight of breasts are infrequent, though buttocks are occasionally visible. Some characters expose their genital regions to others, though any actual nudity in these instances are obscured from the audience's field of vision.
  • A female toddler's genitals are briefly visible.

Violence & Gore

  • In one scene, a female minor is sexually assaulted by an older male (he appears to be thrusting against her, as he pulls down his pants, revealing his underwear as he lies on top of her). In self-defence, the girl picks up a rock and bashes the man's head with it until he collapses.
  • Also contains an implicit instance of genital mutilation as a female toddler is seen screaming in pain as the procedure takes place. The bloody aftermath is seen (as the one administering the circumcision appears to have blood all over her clothes), however the actual mutilation occurs off-camera. Audiences may find this scene to be especially disturbing.

Profanity

  • Contains some moderate coarse language (e.g. "fuck"), and occasional use of milder terms (e.g. "shit").

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Not of concern. Some people may appear to be smoking and/or drinking throughout the film.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The process of female genital mutilation is described in graphic detail. This, coupled with the scenes of sexual assault and implied circumcision earlier in the film may bear a strong impact on audiences.
