Sex & Nudity

  • Meis and Sue are shown lying in bed topless, discussing nipple rings. Someone's hand brushes someone's breast. They kiss. No other making out or sex is shown; the degree of their intimacy is never made clear. Later, Sue is upset when Meis shows interest in boys.
  • In a short fantasy sequence, Meis is lying on the ground, fully clothed, and a variety of male and female hands slide over her upper torso, one of them passing over her breast.
  • Some conversations at various times: Mom asks Meis whether she likes boys or girls. Meis sits down in the kitchen topless and asks her father what sex is like for a guy; he suggests she should put some clothes on. Meis reads a science blurb that says male pandas want sex 108 times a year, females only 3.
  • At a place where adults party at night, Meis finds a used condom and sniffs it. Another day, she spies on a middle-age couple having sex in their car; we see the woman in her underclothes and a man thrusting but his butt is not exposed. This only lasts a few seconds.
  • Meis's clothes frequently show her midriff and her tops allow her nipples to be discerned to varying degrees. We see her in a bra a couple of times, a lower view of panties once but no lower nudity. Mom's tops usually show cleavage.
  • The film is about Meis, a 15-year-old girl tentatively exploring her sexuality. Probable ratings: other North Sea (NOR/SWE/DEN/GER): 7 or all ages. MPAA: R.

Violence & Gore

  • Early on we see how a man died, tying a heavy block to himself and jumping off a pier. It's shown from behind and we don't see him after he enters the water. Not much is said about this later.
  • A man driving past a girl grabs her by the arm; she slaps him and gets away; nothing more happens.
  • A man kicks a piece of furniture in anger but calms down.
  • Dad appears to consider throwing Grandma down the stairs.
  • A car crashes into the living room.

Profanity

  • As English subtitled: 1 ass, 2 bastards, nothing else.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • A couple of adults each briefly smoke a cigarette once. Teen Meis is shown experimenting with disapproved behavior, holding a cigarette for a moment, and holding a tube of modelling glue to her nose briefly. She shows no further interest in this. Teen Boris is seen smoking briefly once.
  • A group of middle-age folks party weekly at the river at the end of the road, Meis sees glimpses of them drinking and smoking.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Grandma's apparently psychologically induced continuous head-shaking may disturb some.
  • Dad appears to consider throwing Grandma down the stairs.
  • A driver crashes into the living room and may be dead.

Spoilers

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

Sex & Nudity

  • Mom and Dad seem to get incentivized by a young adult male's presence in the house and disappear into another room, possibly for sex; we only see vague figures behind frosted glass with no discernable action.
  • Meis seduces Boris by undressing in front of him. Rather than piercing, she has taped a ring to her nipple. His chest and her breasts are seen as they have coitus. It's very brief, just a few thrusts, and Meis asks if that's all there is.

Violence & Gore

  • Dad intentionally removes the warning signs at the curve in the road next to the house every time they're replaced.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The driver who crashed into the living room is unconscious for a while and has minor bleeding, but recovers.
  • As the film ends, it's worrisome when Meis dives off a tall pier and sees Grandpa's ghost under water, but she surfaces and is fine.
