SEX/NUDITY 4 - Some sexual innuendo and several kisses -- we see a boy and girl kiss a few times. A young boy asks a young girl to take off her shirt (she does and we see her slip) as well as her skirt (she refuses); he then unbuttons his pants and asks her if she wants to touch his penis. She refuses and tries to walk past him (see Violence/Gore below). A girl admits to a man that she's been promiscuous, but she doesn't say anything explicit. A man tells his daughter she can have intercourse in their house, but we never see her doing so. In a stage play, a woman in a bra and mesh/leather pants kisses a mannequin head and a man rubs his clothed crotch (we see this in a close-up shot, but he's in the background). Boys and girls embrace each other as they slow dance. A man in an open robe (a bit of his bare chest is visible) caresses the shoulders of a woman wearing a short slip and robe. We see a girl in her bra and underwear. We briefly see crude illustrations of a breast and penis.

VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - A woman slaps a boy and a man is slapped in a TV show. A boy is punched several times and gets a bloody nose; boys scuffle and roll on the ground. A young boy grabs a young girl's wrist as she tries to walk past him; she kicks and struggles with him before breaking away. A girl kicks at a boy but doesn't hurt him. A woman pulls a boy by the ear and locks him in a closet. A woman throws sand in another's face. In a stage play, we see a woman pretending to inject her arm and another woman's neck with a huge syringe (the other woman falls down after being injected). A man is wheeled into an ambulance on a gurney. We see a little menstrual blood on a chair seat.
