violence
One man wrestles another on the ground and punches him twice in the head, rendering him unconscious. There are very mild scenes of gunfire, but no one is shot on-screen. In another scene a man roughly handles a pig by pulling its ears.
theme
A young shepherd boy finds his family’s flock lying passively on the ground, unable to stir; his older brother dispassionately explains that they are dying from thirst and exhaustion. Another shepherd cries out in despair as his sheep are stolen. The film also contains references to bereavement.
There is occasional sight of butchered animals, but the images are not bloody, and the process of killing and butchering occurs off-screen. Other issues include very mild threat, scenes of smoking, and infrequent very mild bad language (e.g. ‘damn’).
