violence
There are generalised comments about the battles and firefights which took place during the conflict, with references to casualties and fatalities. There is no footage of the war violence or images of casualties, with the single exception of a photograph of a dead body on which bloody injury is seen. There are stronger references to abuses and atrocities committed by both sides in the conflict, including torture, mutilation and the indiscriminate killing of civilians. There are also undetailed references to acts of rape committed by military personnel.
There are moderate sex references, including comments about French soldiers frequenting brothels during the conflict. There are references to PTSD and other mental disorders suffered by veterans of the conflict. An account is given of a former soldier who contemplated suicide after returning to France. A man who served with the French army talks about facing discrimination from his colleagues because of his Italian heritage. There is moderate bad language ('whore'), as well as milder terms such as 'bloody', 'shit', 'ass' and 'butt'. There is brief natural male nudity.
