violence
There are moments of threatening behaviour and violence, such as a brawl in a bar featuring the smashing of a bottle, and a man fleeing from border police who shoot at him. Sometimes characters are seen with bloody facial injuries.
language
There is strong language ('f**k', 'motherf**ker'), accompanied by other milder terms ('bitch', 'prick', 'shit', 'asshole', 'son of a bitch', 'bastard', 'hell' and 'God').
disturbing images
There is a protracted sequence in which a character sets themselves alight, seemingly as a protest against the political corruption in their country. A character appears to contemplate their own mortality while standing near to the edge of a bridge. A character slaughters a chicken, with some brief bloody aftermath detail.
theme
Social unrest and corruption are themes of the film, with characters forced into criminal activities in order to survive. There are references to the deaths of displaced peoples attempting to leave Tunisia and cross the Mediterranean in boats.
