violence
One person headbutts another, mildly bloodying the victim’s nose. There is also a series of scenes depicting an abusive marriage. In one, the husband roughly grabs the wife’s wrist and throws a plate of food across the room. In another, he shoots her beloved pet ducks; the shooting occurs off screen but is followed by brief sight of the dead birds with some blood on their chests. Distressed at the killing of her pets, the wife lunges at the husband with a knife but it is quickly restrained.
threat and horror
A woman in an abusive marriage tells other people that she fears her husband will kill her.
language

Another scene contains comic references to a hospital patient sexually harassing medical staff by singing suggestive pop songs at them; such behaviour is not condoned, however. There are also brief, undetailed references to historical racism, which is clearly condemned.
