Scenes of violence include an angry father attacking a male teacher when the father mistakenly believes something which is untrue. The teacher is punched and kicked and has his head slammed against a table, leaving him bloodied. Another character is punched and kicked and repeatedly hit over the head with a plastic bucket, although some of these blows occur off screen. In another scene a girl is bullied, slapped and kicked by another girl. Brief bloody moments include a man having a plate smashed over his head, leaving his face bloodied, and a man being stabbed in the arm with a pair of scissors, leaving his shirt sleeve bloodstained. The film also contains a scene in which the corpse of a young man who has committed suicide is seen heavily bloodied. However, there is no detail of the suicide.
