violence
A short but intense scene of domestic abuse shows a man behaving in an aggressive and threatening manner towards a frightened woman. In another scene a man roughly grabs his heavily pregnant wife, causing her to go into labour.
sexual violence and sexual threat
There is a scene of rape, which is not prolonged.
injury detail
Two scenes of miscarriage feature strong bloody detail, as well as brief partial sight of an underdeveloped foetus. Further bloody images include close-up sight of bloodletting and a sequence of modern-day surgery. At a medical history museum we see a plaster model of an autopsied dead body whose internal organs have been removed and placed aside, as well as others of babies with congenital abnormalities and foetuses in utero.
theme
Occasional upsetting scenes include ones involving miscarriage and others concerning the death of a child.
additional issues
There are occasional moderate scenes of supernatural threat and horror. There is a very brief moderate sequence of sex, without visible nudity. Other issues include non-graphic references to abortion, and infrequent non-sexualised nudity.
