There is one scene that includes a brief conversation about rape. A woman asks a man if he is going to rape her. She seems visibly frightened at first but no sexual violence occurs.

Suicide

A man shoots himself after already sustaining a serious gun wound injury. He knew he was going to die and did this to avoid suffering a drawn out death. A gunshot is heard in the distance implying that he has shot himself.

Other episodes

Some further episodes include age ratings (such as 13). In these episodes the storyline and scenes are likely to become more challenging than the first episode. We recommend proceeding with caution if you found this first episode a bit tricky to watch.
