One scene includes the slaughter of a live bull. In another, a live beetle is cut in two pieces. It is also implied that a lizard's head is bitten off by a child. A man is emasculated and forced to eat his own testicles. A child is subjected to various physical abuse. A cilice is placed on his thigh, causing it to bleed heavily. He is instructed to whip his aunt's bare torso with a belt, and she subsequently squeezes his genitals. His finger is held briefly in a fire by a grandparent. Other scenes of strong and sometimes bloody violence occur throughout, including torture, eye-gouging, shooting, heavy blows, and use of bladed weapons.
additional issues
