Sex & Nudity
None
A woman is raped, not that graphic but disturbing.
Kissing is shown.
Violence & Gore
Moderate
Two men are shot through a window by soldiers outside the house they are in. One of them survives and crawls out of the house before he is shot two more times and dies.
A woman is shot twice offscreen. Her corpse is later shown.
A man is shot multiple times; he survives and stays alive for a while before he is later found dead.
Even though there is no blood, and the violence is always offscreen, there is still a lot of it in this movie
Profanity
None
Minor profanity, if any.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
Mild
Enemy soldiers are seen drinking alcohol.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
Mild
