On repeated occasions, Sandrine is shown in bed with her visiting friend, even though, on one occasion, she has established with him that they are just friends.

No nudity is shown however.

During her training as a farmer, Sandrine is shown assisting in the slaughter of an adult pig, which is wrestled to the ground, tied to a fork lift by its feet to hang upside down, in which position it is shot in the head. The blood is caught in a bowl, and Sandrine has to keep stirring the blood with a large spoon even though she is quite upset. The farmers keep pumping the pig's legs to make the blood flow, and the pig's head is shown drenched in blood.

A dead rabbit is shown on a dinner table, without its skin, though the feet still have the skin and fur.

A goat is shown giving a very difficult, painful birth to two dead goat kids, and Sandrine has to grab the feet of the stillborn animals and pull them out of the goat's birth canal.

Full grown cows are shown being killed, via electric shock, in a slaughterhouse. The cow's face is shown as it gasps its last and has its death spasms, and then the cow is shown rolling down a metal slope to where it lands on slaughterhouse floor.

In the English subtitles on the DVD, Sandrine uses the F-word at least once.

One use of "God d****t*," several uses of "f**k" and one use of "a**."

The old farmer is shown having his heart attack, in a commuter train, during which no one in his car notices.
