Monster

A man drags his son into the house and beats him off-screen because of his sexuality. The boy is subsequently discovered fully clothed and unconscious in a bathtub with dark bruises across his back. A character grabs a colleague and pushes him against the wall. A teacher faces allegations of physically assaulting a child, including twisting his arm and hitting him. He is also accused of directing cruel remarks towards a student. However, it emerges that these allegations are false.

Characters search for a missing child during a storm.

Mild bad language ('crap', 'piss') occurs, as well as very mild bad language ('hell', 'butt').

A woman tells her boyfriend they cannot have sex without a condom, however, he initially jokes that they will be fine without one. Milder references include those that discuss a character visiting a ‘hostess bar’.

A gay boy tells his friend that his father believes he has a disease that should be ‘cured’. Characters are subjected to homophobic bullying from their classmates for showing affection to one another.

A character wears a slightly blood-stained bandage over his ear. Blood drips from a boy’s nostrils onto the floor following an accident.

An adult character prepares to take his own life in public, however, he stops himself from doing so. A boy suddenly throws himself out of a moving car amid struggles over his sexuality. He subsequently receives medical treatment and is shown with scratches across his limbs.

A child uses a lighter to set fire to a dead cat, however, his friend quickly extinguishes it and his behaviour is clearly disapproved of. There are also references to a child being responsible for a possible arson attack.

References are made to a child dying in a tragic car accident. A grieving child discusses the concept of rebirth following his father’s death. The theme of bereavement is dealt with sensitively.
