WHEN THE GODS FALL ASLEEP is a Brazilian satire in which a man who escapes from a psychiatric hospital tries to right the problems he seen in the world.

sexual violence and sexual threat
A man grabs a woman and forces her to the ground against her will, where he kisses her and gropes her as she cries for help.
injury detail
During a frenzied ritual, a group of people bite into the flesh of birds, pouring blood over their faces and drinking it.
nudity
Posters of women posing suggestively feature breast nudity, seen with relative frequency in the background of scenes throughout the film. During a ritual, a woman is stripped naked and is briefly seen exhibiting full frontal nudity.
additional issues
Strong language ('f**k') is used infrequently, as are milder terms such as 'bastard', 'Jesus' and 'damn'. There are moderate sex references, including allusions to sex work, and a scene in which a couple kisses in a tent, undressing one another before it is implied they copulate. Various people are threatened with knives, including when a woman menaces another, threatening to cut out her eyes. During a fight scene between multiple combatants, character trade punches, and a man is seen strangling another. Undetailed references are made to mental health.
