LIBERATION is a Danish World War II drama, based on true events, which concerns German refugees who are transferred to a Danish town in the dying days of the war as the German army faces defeat on all fronts.

violence
An unarmed German is summarily shot and killed by a member of the Danish resistance, followed by brief sight of blood on the victim's shirt. There are fight scenes, including between children, and which include heavy blows. There are also implied beatings. Scenes feature blood and injury detail, including bruises, in the aftermath.
threat and horror
A woman believed to have collaborated with Germans is stripped to the waist, a swastika is painted on her back and her hair is forcibly cut. There is no nudity detail. A group of children tie a boy to a tree and remove his trousers and underwear as an act of punishment for collaboration with the enemy.
language
There is infrequent very strong language ('c**t'). There is also strong language ('f**k') as well as milder terms (for example, 'whore', 'screw', 'shit', 'bastard', 'God', 'Christ', 'damn', 'hell').
additional issues
People discover a person who has taken their own life; however, there is limited detail. There are scenes featuring corpses, including brief sight of bodies buried in a mass grave. There is also discrimination in scenes in which Danish boys say that German people smell of 'cow dung' and 'sauerkraut'. There are upsetting scenes featuring dead and dying adults and children as a diptheria epidemic sweeps through a school used to house refugees.
