INCOMPRESO (VITA COL FIGLIO) is an Italian drama, from 1966, in which a man struggles to relate to his young son in the wake of a tragedy.

violence
A nanny slaps a child for disobedience. A very brief fight between two children results in aftermath sight of a scratch on one boy's neck.
language
Bad language includes ‘arse’, ‘God’, ‘hell’, ‘damn’ and ‘dang’.
discrimination
A white man teases his young nephew by telling him that a group of student delegates from Nigeria are cannibals. The boy anxiously repeats the story in front of the delegates and is immediately scolded by his father for offending them. Though the racist behaviour is not endorsed, the white family is subsequently shown laughing over the unintended result of the uncle’s prank.
theme
The film follows a recently widowed father and his two young children as they struggle to come to terms with their loss. In later scenes, a child is seriously injured in an accident and subsequently dies. Though pervasive and occasionally upsetting, the theme of grief is handled in a sensitive manner.
additional issues
There are scenes of dangerous behaviour in which a boy repeatedly climbs onto a precarious branch overhanging a lake, eventually resulting in a tragic accident. In another scene a child throws up after drinking alcohol. There is fleeting sight of a child’s buttocks as his nanny prepares to take his temperature.
