threat and horror
Mild threat occurs. A police officer demands to see their identification and marriage license of a couple on the street before letting them go.
sex
There are visually discreet scenes of moderate sex. A man goes cruising in a public bathhouse and invites a man into his cubicle. Their feet can be seen in close proximity to one another under a bathroom stall, before one pulls the other's underwear down and spreads his legs. A closeted gay man reluctantly has sex with his wife after she kisses his neck and tries to undress him.
discrimination
There are reference to homosexuality being illegal and not widely accepted in present day Morocco. A gay man worries that his sexuality has soiled his wife's reputation. She comforts him and insists she is proud to be his wife. The film, as a whole, does not condone homophobia.
nudity
There is a scene of natural breast nudity. A woman reveals her breasts and mastectomy scar to her husband and places his hand on her chest. He tenderly traces the scar with his finger before they embrace.
theme
There are scenes of emotional upset, themes of bereavement and references to terminal illness. A terminally ill woman frequently experiences severe pain and is found unconscious by her spouse.
