Sex & Nudity
-
- None.
Violence & Gore
-
- Death is talked about in some episodes.
- Bullying and mistreatment throughout.
- Excessive amounts of child abuse toward both Sara and the other maid, Becky. These include beatings, throwing them around, forcing them to walk to the market in rain or snow, using a shed as a bedroom, and starvation, to name a few.
- Either Becky or Sara has a bucket kicked into her face.
- A student stabs a horse with a needle to make it harm the rider.
Profanity
-
- Mild language.
- Subtitles include minor words such as damn or bastard, depending on the translator. Others include insults towards Sara and Becky, such as stupid girl, liar, worthless, etc.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- There may be a rare reference to wine or smoking, but it's in the late nineteenth century where just about everyone did. It holds no major part in the series.
- One character is an alcoholic, though his alcoholism doesn't prevent him from doing his job. He's a doctor. Other characters view him as lacking due to his condition. This is the worst appearance of alcohol in the show.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- Scenes of bullying and mistreatment can be little upsetting or heart-breaking for some.
- Scenes of abuse towards Sara are highly disconcerting. She is starved, slapped, kicked, thrown around, and left deathly sick for hours. She is constantly tormented by those in power at the school. If you're not a fan of watching child abuse, you should stay away. This is a very intense show.
- Becky is often beaten for various things, usually for defending Sara or working too slowly. The students are forbidden from speaking to her, and subsequently Sara, meaning they can only watch when the two girls are abused, or face their own punishment.
Spoilers
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- The horse shed Sara is forced to sleep in catches fire. She nearly dies due to the flames, but manages to escape. She is blamed for the fire.
- Sara catches a deadly disease after being forced to walk in the rain for hours. Her superiors refuse to call a doctor, but reluctantly bring in a drunken doctor because they do not believe Sara is worth saving.
- Sara is evicted from the school and has to find work in the city where she comes into contact with other child workers who work day and night just for a few coins. She sells matches and nearly freezes to death.
