Sex & Nudity
Severe
A man talks about erection.
A man has intense sex with his wife under the covers, with her breasts clearly visible.
A woman has a bath outside with her chest visible from the breasts up.
A woman has a shower at night (it's dark and shot from a distance so nothing is visible).
A group of pre-pubescent girls dance in a circle topless.
Violence & Gore
Mild
A man beats his wife in the centre of the village with a whip for a couple of minutes. Eventually another man comes and stops him, but he is forced to the ground.
Profanity
Moderate
A man is called a mother-f***er twice by another group of men.
A man accuses a second man of being a paedophile for intending to marry an 11 year-old girl. He also calls him a "s***ty little fellow" and says, "no s***". The second man tells him to f*** off.
A man calls a group of women b***ches.
A man tells a pair of women to "shut the f*** up".
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
Mild
A woman snorts something in the middle of a conversation, though it isn't said what it is and it isn't focussed on.
A woman smokes a pipe.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
Moderate
The whole film is about genital mutilation in female children, so a mature theme. There is one instance of a mutilation ceremony being carried out (non-graphic, but we see the face of the girl who is crying for help). Later on we see a girl being led by her mother to be 'purified' and she is screaming "No! I don't want to be cut!" etc., but we don't actually see the ceremony. In a daytime scene the children visualise the women gathering around them at night with masks on (briefly).
