threat and horror
A child falls into water and nearly drowns before rescue arrives. There is a brief and moderately intense sequence of gun threat. Other scenes contain moderate supernatural threat, when a girl finds evidence of a mysterious intruder in her home and later encounters the ghost of another child; though the girl is initially frightened, we eventually learn that the ghost means her no harm.
sex
A couple lie in bed together after discreetly implied off-screen sex.
injury detail
Accidental injuries, including those caused by an off-screen car accident, result in mild images of blood on people's faces.
dangerous behaviour
A child drugs an adult’s drink with crushed sleeping pills, without lasting ill effects. In another scene a child nearly drowns after climbing into a disused well.
theme
There are upsetting scenes in which a child and her father grieve over the death of her mother; a flashback scene shows the girl frantically trying to wake her mother in the aftermath of an off-screen car crash. Other scenes feature verbal references to the displacement of Palestinian Arabs during the 1948 Palestinian War. The themes of loss, grief and trauma, which run throughout the film, are handled in a thoughtful and empathetic manner.
