Sex: There is one scene where a boy is beaten, restrained, and sodomized by a larger bully. It however is not an explicit scene. Sex is solicited in a scene where a Soviet soldier requires that a woman have sex with him in order for a truck to pass, but the scene never happens.Nudity: No nudity.
There are scenes of a woman being stoned as a halftime show during a soccer match; the main character is brutally beaten by a Taliban leader. The leader also loses an eye after his servant/"nancy boy" fires a slingshot to defend the main character. Both scenes are bloody. the scenes are graphic and disturbing.In addition, there are drops of blood dropping from a raped boy's pants into the snow after his rape.
Three uses of the 'f' word and a couple of characters do say derogatory comments to or about people of Hazara descent. (E.g., bully making fun of a Hazara boy; the father in law of the main character is not particularly pleased with a Hazara boy coming into his family.)
There are scenes of the main character's father and his friend drinking liquor. The father also smokes.
The implicit rape scene of a boy (between 10-12 yrs old) and the stoning scene are not easy to watch. Another intense scene is when the main character is beaten by a Taliban leader.
