  Multiple onscreen deaths throughout the course of the film.

  There is violence in this film but in only two scenes. Both of them are brutal and unexpected but show minimal gore; despite this it's still very realistic.

  A man falls down a hole, landing on his back and groaning in pain.

  A man is slapped around many times and choked.

  A boy slaps and punches his father.

  A man is beaten over the head with a blunt object. His head is bashed in 3 times offscreen. His corpse is later seen - some blood is shown. Overall, not very gory, but quite disturbing and realistic.
