violence
A man uses a wooden bat to beat his students, with most of the blows occurring off screen. Moderate violence also includes punch ups and a flashback to war violence. There is dangerous behaviour when students use alcohol to set fire to a teacher's trouser leg, but this is briefly shown.
sex
There are comic references to masturbation.
injury detail
Sports related injuries shown on screen include bloody detail and brief sight of a bone protruding from a young man's leg. A young man arrives at an orphanage covered in blood and there is a verbal reference to him being found holding his dead father.
rude humour
There is a rude middle finger gesture as well as a scene in which a boy draws a crude image of a penis.
theme
Scenes of child physical abuse include boys at an orphanage being forced into illegal labour and beaten by one of their teachers. In one upsetting scene a woman repeatedly slaps her teenage son. There are also upsetting scenes as young men experience rejection from their parents.
additional issues
Characters drink whiskey but the film does not promote alcohol abuse. The film also features mild bad language ('son of a bitch', 'ass', 'shit', 'piss', 'bastard', 'damn', 'butt', 'God' and 'hell'.) A schoolboy spies on girls in their dorm, but there is no sight of the girls on screen and his behaviour is not endorsed. There's brief comic buttock nudity when a boy drops his towel by mistake. There are discriminatory remarks made about orphans and an unlikable man makes a sexist joke.
