language
There is use of the term ‘whore’. Milder terms include ‘strumpet’ and ‘wench’.
sex
Occasional sex references include ones to 'lechery', 'adultery', 'fornication', 'bawds', sex work and virginity. A man makes a crude hand gesture suggesting masturbation to illustrate the word ‘groping’. There are also fleeting verbal references to incest and pornography.
sexual violence and sexual threat
A powerful man attempts to blackmail a woman into having sex with him. The threat is not carried out, however.
additional issues
After an off-screen execution a severed head spits water at one of the characters. The image is not gory. Other scenes feature mild bloody images and references to hanging.
