sex
A couple kiss and caress in one animated sequence; the woman removes her underwear and lies down with the man, who hitches up her dress, revealing brief pubic nudity as they engage in sexual activity.
nudity
There is sight of female breast, buttock and pubic nudity in animated sequences; some of this occurs in a sexualised context.
theme
An impressionistic and disturbing animated sequence depicts Second World War concentration camp inmates being menaced by a German officer, who eventually orders them to be shot. We see their bodies falling, but there is no sight of bullet impacts or injury detail.
additional issues
A stylised, collage-like animated sequence includes people at a banquet being attacked by reanimated animals such as clams, chickens and a pig on their dining table; this results in sight of blood and severed limbs, but the animation style is highly unrealistic. There are moments of gun threat and also a sequence in which a woman appears to be intimidated by an older man. It is implied in an impressionistic sequence that a character takes their own life. Characters grieve for lost loved ones.
