violence
It is implied that a man hits another over the head with a rock until he is dead, resulting in bloody aftermath detail. There are also verbal references to a child witnessing the abuse and murder of his mother at the hands of his father.
sex
There are scenes of strong sex, including some sexualised breast and buttock nudity. In one sequence, adults are seen in bondage at a party, and are whipped and fondled. Teenage boys from a monastery pay to see a woman naked, while it is implied that they masturbate under their robes.
drugs
A man experiences hallucinogenic effects after consuming an unnamed plant. He wakes up in the bed of a woman who is trying to pay him for sex.
sexual violence and sexual threat
A pregnant woman is raped outside her home by a man. The woman's lover returns, interrupting and killing the rapist.
additional issues
There are scenes showing the infected dead bodies of those who have succumbed to plague, including a mother holding her new-born baby. There are emotional scenes as a man sits beside his dead lover, after she miscarries their baby.
