violence
A man reflects on the beatings he endured as a child from a family member and displays a scar on his body. There are brief and infrequent scenes of domestic abuse, including a sequence in which a man slaps a pregnant family member across the face. Other moments include mild fight scenes in which characters slap and push one another.
threat and horror
A money-lender verbally threatens and physically accosts a man, however, this ends reassuringly.
language
Mild bad language occurs ('bloody', 'crap'), as well as very mild bad language ('damn', 'hell', 'God').
sex
Infrequent mild sex references occur.
discrimination
Infrequent and undetailed verbal references to sexist attitudes occur.
nudity
An infant is briefly seen without underwear in a scene of natural nudity.
theme
There are frequent and prolonged scenes of mild emotional upset in which people cry and grieve over the death of a loved one. In one sequence, characters prepare a dead body as part of a funeral rite and subsequently burn it on a funeral pyre, however, this lacks focus on any detail.
alcohol and smoking
There are scenes involving adults drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes. Occasional references are made to alcoholism.
