| nudity | In one scene a boy sticks his penis in a bottle to demonstrate how to impregnate a girl, the scene goes on for more than a minute. It is only shown at angles that obscure any real nudity, but the details of the situation are discussed for some time. An old man has a young boy read a lingerie catalog to him, pictures of women in lingerie can be seen. A woman undresses to her underwear and is chased into the bedroom by her husband who barks at her like a dog. At a glass factory, a man makes a glass vase with gigantic breasts on it. A boy sneaks around an artist's studio and manages to view a nude model as she is posing through a window on the roof. We see her full frontal nudity for a very brief moment. A pre-pubescent girl opens her dress shirt in front of an equally young boy and asks him to wrap a bandage around her chest to flatten what she considers developing breasts. |
| violence | Shoving, Slapping, Wrestling and other minor violence. When the boy looks through the window on the roof (mentioned above) he falls through. He is later seen with some minor cuts on his body. |
| profanity | There is swearing but it is in Swedish. |
| frightening | There is the death of a person's mother in the film, and the emotional reaction by the child is very strong. The mother is also shown to be frighteningly sick. |
