violence
A husband frequently displays abusive behaviours towards his wife, such as pushing her, raising his fist to hit her and aggressively shouting at her. He also takes her money and is emotionally and coercively controlling. He threatens to kill himself if she ever leaves him and is jealous of their unborn baby.
language
Infrequent use of strong language ('f**k') is accompanied by milder terms such as 'bastard', 'shit', 'ass', 'crap', 'piss' and 'damn'.
sex
Scenes include characters seen in theatrically stylised sex positions, all simulated to comic effect, such as ones implying cunnilingus, some thrusting and a woman spanking a man. There are also moderate verbal sex references.
theme
References are made to abortion and miscarriage. A woman grieves for her mother.
