violence
A woman strikes a man repeatedly across the head with a baton, causing bloody injuries. In another scene, a mother and her daughter hit one another during an argument.
additional issues
The story concerns a fifteen year-old child who becomes pregnant and tries to arrange an abortion; this is opposed by members of her community, on religious grounds. In one scene, the girl tries to take her own life by drowning herself, but is rescued. Her mother tries to seduce a neighbour in the hopes he will pay for the abortion. It is later revealed the pregnancy came about as a result of rape. There is infrequent strong language ('f**k'), and milder terms including 'piss' and 'shit'.
