Sex & Nudity

Sexually suggestive scenes.

A brief shot of a bare butt in a large spa.

During a sexually charged role-playing game, Guido asks his lover to come in wearing nothing but a sheet, and tells her to act like a "slut". She tosses the sheet off, and climbs on top of him. No nudity is seen, but sex is heavily implied.

The Saraghina dances the rumba for a group of young boys. The dance is sexually suggestive, and the boys are caught and punished by priests.

Violence & Gore

Profanity

A few mild profanities.

Drinking and smoking is seen quite a few times.
