There is one scene where the parents are seen kissing and fondling in shadows by the eldest son in a hammock next to him. There is no nudity. Another scene shows that same son looking for his little brother at night and comes upon a woman (girl) climbing out of the passenger side of a semi truck. She has smeared lipstick, and smiles dreamily.

One of the sons protects his mother and brother and gets his nose cut with a knife.

There may be profanity spoken in Portuguese but there is none in the translation. Quite the opposite: there is much singing and smiling among the family members.

There is a recurring theme of the (same) son wanting to grow up (be a grownup) and thinking that smoking like his father is part of the equation.

In the first minute of the movie the baby of the family has crawled into the middle of the road and a semi truck swerves and misses it.
