PALMER is a US drama in which a man returns to Louisiana after twelve years in prison, finding himself responsible for a seven year-old boy.

violence
A man attacks another in a bar, delivering repeated punches to his face, resulting in bloody detail in the aftermath. Scenes of domestic abuse include a man grabbing a woman by the throat in front of her young son, accompanied by aggressive language.
language
There is strong language ('f**k'), accompanied by milder terms, including 'bitch', 'whore', 'shit', 'bullshit', 'sick', 'son of a bitch', 'piss', 'ass', 'asshole', 'Jesus', 'Christ', 'God', 'hell' and 'damn'.
sex
There is strong sex, which includes buttock and breast nudity.
discrimination
There is discriminatory language ('faggot', 'queer') and behaviour as a young boy is the victim of bullying by his peers, as well as certain adults. In one particular scene, the boy comes home crying with make-up smeared across his face, suggesting that it was the handiwork of the adults who were supposed to be in charge of him. The film as a whole does not endorse discrimination, however, highlighting the boy's positive attitude and endearing sense of self.
additional issues
There are verbal and visual drug references, including brief focus on foil and a crack pipe.
