Sex & Nudity
-
-
- In a flashback, a boy's aunt (who is not much older than him), comes out of her room when the boy knocks her door in only her underwear and an undershirt. The boy stares at her cleavage briefly. She seems to read what he's thinking, and toys with him a bit, but nothing happens.
-
- A woman and her ex-husband make out and then engage in sex. We see the woman spreading her legs out on a bed and the man hovering over her from the side, unzipping his pants. There is no nudity, but they make groaning and grunting sounds while they are engaging in sex. Their sex causes the bed to rock back and forth, hitting the wall. This happens while a funeral procession is going on in the house downstairs. During the "moment of silence," the bed hits the wall. This is played for slightly comic effect.

The man and woman are the parents of the main character.

-
- During a heated argument during dinnertime, a man has a violent outburst and slams the dinner table with his fist whilst yelling. His wine spills on the tablecloth, staining it.
-
- In a flashback, a man's father slaps the boy. The father then forces the boy to hold full paint cans with his arms straight out for a prolonged amount of time as a punishment. The boy is unable to move his arms afterwards due to the severe amount of pain he is in.
-
- Ina flashback, a boy threatens to kill his father with a baseball bat. The father grabs the baseball bat and throws it away from him.
