Sex & Nudity

  • The film has a theme of prostitution. As such, there is some sexual references here and there, but nothing too explicit and they're all justified by context.
  • A brief sex scene in a bed where it involves a man and a man beneath the bedsheets, but it is interrupted. It is more sensual than sexual with some light kissing, with no explicit moves.
  • A man prepares to have sex with another man. He goes to the bed and lies on his stomach, presumably to receive anal pleasure from his partner.
  • A prostitute is paid to have sex with a man at a clothes store. We see him somewhat humping here, but the camera is too close for any graphic details and the scene is somewhat dark and as well as brief. The woman does not look very comfortable.

Violence & Gore

  • Some violent images, but they're moderate in impact. Such as one scene where a man with a tied mouth is bruised and bloodied, after torture (which is not shown).
  • A man is strangled to death by a cloth. As he is strangled, we saw his torso and the lower areas of his bodies as he is struggling, before he falls dead on the bed.

Profanity

  • Just Arabic words that are equivalent to goddamn and other mild expletives.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • The film features frequent smoking and as well as alcohol usage.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Some scenes of rioting and protesting may be intense for viewers. One of the main characters being strangled to death will be upsetting and distressing for viewers.
  • MPAA rating (hypothetical): PG-13 for thematic material, some violence, tobacco smoking and some sexual content.
