Sex & Nudity
-
- Parents have sex fully clothed, father with back to viewer, mother stradling. there is a voiceover by the mother character which indicates her participation is mechanical and purely the result of her programming. She appears to weep, suggesting she is sentient and sees her role as similar to that of a slave.
Violence & Gore
-
- There is a simmering threat of violence during many minutes of this film, but it serves mainly to raise the tension and stress levels of the audience. See the Frightening and Intense section for details.
Profanity
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Before I saw this film I didn't know Virginia Slim type cigarettes were still a thing. Apparently they are in Poland! The actor Marieta Zukowska smokes. And I mean that both ways.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- The 13 year old boy is beaten -- but is it by his mother or father? We witness both in short, chaotic snippets, although the final, and longest one, depicts the mother doing the beating. The boy shows his mother the bruises during a therapy session shortly afterwards.
Spoilers
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- The mother seeks to escape from the treatment facility with her son. He goes along willingly. When they are caught, the mother leaps into a river. We then see her rescued and in an emergency room type setting. She asks if she is going to be turned off, and the screen goes black and silent.
- We see three different scenes of the same event -- the mother having a seizure of some sort while lying on a couch, and rolling off onto the floor, where the actor produces physical intensity that is remarkable and which would be frightening for any young child relating to the mother character.
