Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Sex & Nudity

• Michael finds a suggestive picture of Isabelle, and hides it in his pants to avoid being caught. Shortly after, Theo and Michael are in the kitchen. Theo holds onto Michael, who resists, and Isabelle walks in completely naked in the doorway. She walks over to Michael and kneels down, removing his pants. When she pulls down his boxers, her picture is stuck on his semi-erect penis (which is visible in close up for an extended period of time). She and Theo laugh. Michael is then coerced into having sex with Isabelle. They make love on the floor (mostly full length, side view). She helps him in entering his penis in her vagina. The woman shows discomfort and cries as it is her first time. He caresses her and thrusts against her. Another man (her brother) comes in and then both men wipe blood from her vagina with their hands implying that the first man has taken her virginity. As the couple kisses, the blood gets on both their faces.
• Theo, Isabelle, and Matthew are discovered asleep naked by the sibling's parents. There is yet more female nudity (breasts, butt, visible genitals and pubic hair) when she awakens.

Violence & Gore

• We see the police attacking the demonstrators. They respond violently and water cannons are used. Molotov cocktails and bricks are thrown. Then, the cops beat a lot of people with sticks, but we don't see the resulting injuries, only people occasionally knocked down.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

• In addition to cops beating protestors and rioting in the streets, there is an extended scene of planned suicide. (asphyxiation by gas)
• The suicide attempt fails when Isabelle is wakened by the sounds of rioting outside.
