The film opens with a ritualized scene where a young nude woman is standing as she is blessed by her mother. There is some nudity, but most of the body is obscured as the camera revolves around her. Those watching closely might see total nudity, but frontal nudity is more acute.

There are sex scenes in the movie that involve nudity, as well, frontal female nudity.

The male characters have several fight scenes with blood and wounds. The title character, the Kelin, is initially raped by her husband, though this is also highly stylized and should not be as disturbing as it sounds. All in all, there is a lot of violence in the film, though mostly stylized and not realistic.
