Sex & Nudity

  • Shirtless boys are seen in a swimming class and in a locker room.
  • Some kissing and hugging.

  • A boy is seen with a bloody nose. He jumps from a tower and nearly falls to his death, but Skellig rescues him.

Profanity

  • A boy says the word bloody.
  • His father says "don't say bloody."

  • Two boys mock another boy and his friend who they say is his girlfriend.
  • One fart joke and a character frequently belches at two children for some weird reason.
  • "shit, junkie, damn" are all said.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
