Sex & Nudity

  • Two teens mildly discuss how hot a boy is.
  • The female lead asks her mother how big the mom's breasts were at the daughter's age, apparently and needlessly insecure. Later, in bed in underclothes, the daughter places a pillow between her thighs and rhythmically rubs against it a few times.
  • This film addresses themes parents may wish to discuss with young viewers, such as faith and organized religion's impacts on human sexuality.
  • The 14 year old female lead character is shown briefly topless in a frontal view.
  • In one scene with a boy, the teen girl's blouse is unbuttoned revealing her cleavage and part of her breasts (no nipples shown).
  • In a rather close scene a teen girl lifts her nightgown and reveals her vulva to her grandfather (only pubic hair seen).

Violence & Gore

  • There is no gore in this film. The only vaguely violent scene is verbal only, with a recently separated couple raising their voices, upsetting their teenaged daughter who covers her ears to avoid hearing it.

Profanity

  • I can only speak for the language used in the English sub-titled version. Very infrequent coarse language is used - three or four occasions in total and usually pretty mild. The f-word is used only once in the sub-titles, however the song, performed in English, as the credits roll at the conclusion of the film does include the f-word.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Smoking is quite limited in the movie but one 14 year old female character smokes (without her parents' knowledge) on one occasion and only briefly shown.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Spoilers

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

Sex & Nudity

  • A boy pins a girl on the ground and kisses her, but stops a little while after it becomes obvious that she isn't ready for that.
  • A boy and girl lay on his bed and kiss. She returns home late that night, but no other implication of sexual activity is shown.
  • Anna's (Clara Augarde) grandfather Jean (Michel Galabru) is a bit of a perv, and makes several inappropriate comments to Anna and to her father. While Anna is washing grandfather's feet, she notices his pants are bulging from an erection, and she abruptly leaves the room. The scene in which she reveals her pubic hair was in response to his wish to once again see "where he came from."

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Two funerals are shown. Anna faints at the first one. Later, she faints at a religious ceremony. At the second funeral, she reads a eulogy, where she is tearful but does not faint.
