violence
Two young men argue and one slashes the other's hand with a box cutter, drawing blood. A father reacts violently to his teenage daughter's behaviour and pins her to a wall with his hand on her throat. Other scenes of moderate violence feature punches, a blow to the head with a rock and an attempted drowning.
threat and horror
A man is pinned down and a knife is held near his face. Moderate threat includes a man running blindly into a small lake where he sinks under the water, but is seen to be unharmed.
language
There is strong language ('f**k'), as well as milder bad language including uses of 'prick', 'bitch', 'slut' and 'Jesus Christ'.
theme
There are interconnected references to child sexual abuse and the death of an infant whose skeletal remains are discovered. A woman talks about suffering physical abuse by a partner.
additional issues
There are moderate sex references.
