Two brief scenes where women's breasts and sides of torso are seen at medium to long distance: a few seconds of a group bathing at seaside, and, slightly longer, one woman swimming and then administering CPR to a drowning victim. The wet dress of a woman who was diving telegraphs the details of her breasts through the fabric for a few seconds.

Two boys scuffle, but are quickly separated with no obvious harm. A boy fights against restraints when being gurneyed to surgery. A boy crushes one leg of a starfish with a rock, and puts it in a bowl of water to let it regrow.

A little blood is seen when a boy cuts his hand and we see a large needle piercing the flesh, crudely sewing up the gash, also, surgeries on boys show hypodermics piercing the skin, we see operations begin but not the actual cuts. We see wounds healing afterward. Also, a boy vomits up black sludge.

Nurses watch a videotape of a C-section delivery (either real, or extremely realistic); we see graphic detail of flesh and fat cut, blood wiped, the amniotic sac pierced and the extraction of a baby.

None (as English subtitled).

No alcohol or smoking at all. No drugs except for medicines provided by parents or nurses.

There's an initial impression that Nicolas is seriously ill; he doesn't understand what's wrong. The food eaten by Nicolas and his mother is a disgusting blue-gray sludge with what looks like worms in it; this isn't perceived as odd.

The boys realize that adults they thought they could trust are doing horrible things to them, and they can't do anything about it.
