Sex & Nudity

  • In a dream sequence a woman comes out of a shower, lets her robe fall off and puts on stockings. No nudity.
  • First Story: In two separate scenes, a naked woman, covered only by a towel, enters a bathtub (no graphic detail, only her side is visible). Her brother washes her back. Her bare breasts are visible in a couple of shots. She is apparently in love with her brother (although her feelings are one-sided), so the scenes have a mildly incestuous tone to it.
  • A dead woman's naked body is seen (no detail is visible as the scene is very dark).
  • A man assaults a woman and forcibly kisses her twice.
  • A man kisses a dead woman and is implied to have sex with her corpse. His necrophiliac behaviour later reveals that a deformed baby is born from this intercourse.
  • A woman gropes her own breasts.
  • Men at a picnic discuss a woman's sexual proclivities.
  • Second Story: None.
  • Third Story: A man and a girl kiss and start to make out (she says to be a virgin); she takes his hand and places it on her breasts, he caresses her thighs and begins to pull off her panties, but stops. No nudity.
  • A man and a girl are seen kissing and making out. No nudity.
  • A man's bare chest is seen.
  • Fourth Story: None.
