violence
Domestic abuse is thematic but implicitly condemned by the film as a whole. A man approaches his wife in a bell tower and makes disturbing threats of violence towards her before holding her over the side. In another scene, he attempts to tie her up while she is sleeping. On both occasions, she gets away unharmed. In other scenes, he threatens her with a gun and subjects her to psychological and physical abuse.
additional issues
There is an implied sexual assault and references to voyeurism. Moderate bad language includes use of 'whore'.
