In this Czech drama from 1965, a young boy navigates a challenging home life as the Second World War comes to an end and Soviet troops arrive in his village.
violence
There are scenes involving a stern and physically violent father who punishes his son; whilst the visual detail is limited, these scenes are impactful. One sequence features punches and threat with a knife, although the imagery is impressionistic. A group of children chase and tease a young boy; there are scenes in which the boy is beaten, tied up stripped and, in one instance, urinated upon; these scenes are shot with discretion. A fantasy sequence features imagines executions; there is sight of war planes, soldiers, explosions and a battlefield of corpses; however, these sequences are not bloody or gory.
language
There is moderate bad language ('whore') as well as other milder terms including 'bastard', 'shit', 'asshole', 'Jesus Christ' and 'hell'.
sex
There are moments of kissing, romance and flirtation that imply sexual behaviour, but without sight of sexual activity.
discrimination
There is discriminatory language including 'midget'.
nudity
In one scene, a young boy briefly glimpses an artistic nude photograph of a woman.
suicide and self-harm
An individual takes their own life, though the action occurs out of view. In another scene, there is verbal reference to suicide and a brief shot of a dead body but there is no sight of blood or injury.
additional issues
In one comic scene, a man is drunk. There are images of dead and injured animals, but the presentation is mild. A child smokes a cigarette.

violence
A youth is thrashed by his father, using a leather belt; he is also slapped by his mother. There is sight of a Russian soldier being shot in the chest, and a scene in which sticks and stones are thrown at a suspected Nazi collaborator, causing blood to trickle down the back of the neck. It is later implied that the man commits suicide by jumping into a well.
additional issues
A photograph of a naked woman is seen, from time to time, inside the lid of a metal cigarette case. One scene includes brief full frontal male nudity as youths throw objects at a naked boy who is tied to a tree. There is also occasional sight of dead animals and some use of mild bad language, including two subtitled uses of the term 'shit'.
