violence
A deaf woman references being beaten with a hanger by a teacher as a child when she struggled to pronounce words.
language
Infrequent strong language ('f**k') is accompanied by milder terms such as 'bitch', 'shit', 'crap', 'asshole' and 'damn'. People make rude gestures.
sex
A woman looks through a book of basic drawings that depict various sexual acts and their associated sign language signs. There are brief and undetailed verbal references to masturbation and oral sex that accompany these visuals. A boy makes a breast jiggling gesture with his hands.
discrimination
Deaf people, including children, experience isolation, discrimination and bullying, particularly from colleagues and teachers with regards to using sign language. In one scene, a mother covers her child's eyes from seeing deaf children signing. This discrimination is clearly challenged and the film shows how attitudes have changed over time.
theme
Characters experience upset and distress as a result of being bullied, excluded and isolated due to their hearing impairment. A teacher berates and humiliates children in her class who use sign language. A woman nearly drowns when she tries to overcome her fear of water.
