drugs
An adult son tells his father that "all you've done is smoked opium", and the elder man is shown using a pipe containing the drug.
suicide
There are references to the suicide of a young woman who set fire to herself.
theme
A man believes that his teenage nephew has brought dishonour to the family and launches a frenzied attack on him with slaps and kicks; the younger man sustains a bloody injury to his head. The uncle is later sorry for his actions and his regret is reinforced when his father reflects on his own domestic abuse and admits, "I used to beat you up back then".
There is mild bad language ('son of a bitch', 'ass', 'bastard', 'piss', 'shit', 'hell', 'God', 'damn'). There are references to a woman's cancer and her having to undergo a mastectomy. There are scenes of smoking. There is a use of the term “darkie” in the English subtitles, but this is merely a factual description of a person in a small community who is darker-skinned than others, and is not spoken with a discriminatory intent.
