violence
A woman talks about the domestic abuse she experienced from her husband, and an occasion in which he threatened their baby with a screwdriver. Reconstructions of her life show her in hospital with facial injuries and show moments in which her husband behaves aggressively toward her, but violent attacks are not shown. A woman recounts being struck with a whip by her mother when she was a young girl.
language
There is occasional very mild language ('God', 'Jesus').
sex
There are strong sex scenes which include nudity, as well as sequences in which women are implied to be masturbating. There are references to orgasms, oral sex and other sexual activity.
discrimination
There are references to historical sexist attitudes.
sexual violence and sexual threat
A woman talks about being sexually abused as a child, including by family members; we see accompanying images of a frightened young girl, but there is no visual detail of abuse. Another woman discusses the sexual violence she experienced within her marriage; again, there is limited visual detail of this.
suicide and self-harm
There are occasional undetailed verbal references to suicidal thoughts.
injury detail
A woman is seen bruised and bandaged after being beaten by her husband off-screen. There is brief sight of blood.
nudity
There is sight of penis, breast and buttock nudity just before a couple have sex as well as moments of natural breast nudity when a woman showers and another feeds her baby. Educational textbooks and posters show anatomical detail of nude female bodies.
theme
Women talk about their feelings of fear and confusion when they began to menstruate as teenage girls.
