language
There is strong language ('f**k'), accompanied by other milder terms ('bitch', 'bastard', 'bullshit', 'shit', 'dick', 'dickhead', 'piss', 'asshole', 'ass', 'balls', 'son of a bitch', 'Jesus', 'Christ', 'screwed', 'moron' and 'damn').
sex
Strong sex includes masked cunnilingus, which is accompanied by sexualised breast nudity.
nudity
There is sexualised breast and buttock nudity.
theme
There are several scenes which deal with a neonatal death. The death itself is portrayed in a surrealist, metaphorical fashion as a mother who has just given birth is told that her baby does not want to leave the womb, and so is pushed back inside her. There is some bloody detail in a darkly comic sequence following the birth, as the unusually large umbilical cord trails behind the parents. In a later sequence, the baby is seen crawling into the ocean as his family bid an emotional farewell to him while scattering his ashes. The subject is handled in a sensitive way. In other allegorical scenes referencing the 'missing' people of Mexico ignored by the state, bodies of indigenous people move in great numbers through stationary traffic, fall from the sky and lie inert on the ground, as well as can be seen stacked up in a large pile, in what is later revealed to be a staged scene on a film set.
additional issues
There are scenes of racist behaviour towards a man with indigenous heritage, as well as other references to racism, which sometimes include the use of racist terms (e.g. 'darky'). However, racism and discrimination are clearly not endorsed by the work as a whole. There are scenes of moderate, surrealist threat. A historical reenactment involves soldiers shooting and stabbing each other with bayonets in an impressionistic, stylised way. This sequence also involves a man jumping from a clock tower in a martyristic suicide, but it is quickly revealed he is safely attached to a rope. There are brief scenes featuring dead salamanders.
