violence
A person is stabbed and another is deliberately impaled in the shoulder with a fishing hook, resulting in moderate bloody aftermath detail. Fight scenes, brawls and beatings feature crunchy punches and kicks. A man behaves threateningly towards his wife, and in one scene strikes her face and roughly drags her by her arm.
threat and horror
There are moderate scenes of aggressive and threatening behaviour. A man contemplates bludgeoning a sleeping person’s head with a rock.
language
There is infrequent implied use of strong language ('f**k’). Milder terms include 'shit', ‘bloody hell’, ‘bugger’, ‘damn’, 'butt', ‘moron’, ‘God’ and ‘Jesus’.
discrimination
Men repeatedly address an older woman as ‘old hag’. Sexism is not endorsed by the work as a whole, however.
injury detail
Moderate bloody images occur in the context of violence.
suicide and self-harm
A person attempts suicide but is saved by the intervention of another, who berates him for the attempt.
sexual violence and sexual threat
A new bride is portrayed as unhappy but resigned after being forced to marry an unlikeable man.
alcohol and smoking
Adults are shown drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes, and a drunk person is overheard vomiting off screen.
flashing/flickering lights
This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
