sexual violence and sexual threat
It is revealed from the outset that the woman and girls of the community are being drugged and systematically raped by the men, including their own relatives. No sexual violence appears on screen, but women are seen to be bloody and distressed in the aftermath of attacks. To each other, they recount their experiences and the consequent psychological fallout. In one scene, girls scream when a man tries to get into their bedroom. A woman resolves to return home, at great risk, to her abusive husband in order not to make him suspicious.
theme
A woman and her young daughter are seen with injuries in the aftermath of domestic abuse.
There are moderate bloody images and injury detail in the aftermath of implied sexual violence: one woman holds her own bloody teeth in her hand; another is seen to have bruised and bloody inner thighs; others have bloody shifts and bedclothes. There is infrequent strong language ('f**k'), as well as other terms such as 'whore' and 'shit'. There is brief moderate violence. There are undetailed references to suicide. Discrimination includes the backdrop of misogyny against which events unfold.
