Amish kids drinking, smoking, doing drugs, having sex, and watching TV. The Amish realize that 16 year old kids cannot be controlled and forcing those elements into the community is wrong. They allow their teens to experience the "English" ways, sow their wild oats, and then decide if they want family and community or live the worldly life. They can't do both. In reality, the film is rather boring.
The important message of the film comes at the end when we find out family and community win out 9 times out of 10. What the film should have mentioned is that all these Amish kids are related due to their limited gene pool. A Wall Street Journal article claims banks are currently foreclosing on their farms due to medical bills caused by genetic defects when your family insists on marrying their first cousin.
F-bomb, no sex, or nudity.
