violence
Infrequent shootings and a slash to a man's arm with a knife result in bloody detail. A teenager is forced to strike a prisoner's face repeatedly with a truncheon. In another scene Nazi soldiers drag people off a truck in order to shoot them off screen. A man is overheard hitting a woman in a scene of off-screen domestic violence, with aftermath sight of bruising on her face.
threat and horror
There is threat throughout as a Jewish teenager disguises herself as a boy in order to hide in plain sight from Nazi occupiers. In one scene she is forcibly stripped to her underwear as part of a 'male bonding' ritual.
additional issues
Occasional bad language includes the terms 'whore', 'slut', 'bastard', and 'scheiße'. There is moderate bloody aftermath detail when a boy accidentally strikes his own leg with an axe. There is also an off-screen suicide.
