Sex & Nudity

One sex scene.Fairly graphic and full fledged nudity shot in a very realistic style in keeping with the Dogme 95 manifesto.The man is seen walking around nude around a room after the sex.

A woman is implied to be a lesbian.And we see her winking and touching the butt of a waitress with sexual implications.

Frequent references all along to a father sexually abusing her children and detailed description of the event.

Violence & Gore

Several sequences of characters fighting and beating somebody up.But no blood is used again in compliance with the Dogme 95 manifesto.

Profanity
