  • As Richard is working for the doctor he's studying under, we see him looking at a black and white diagram of a nude woman (presumably in a medical book). The scene is very brief and the camera doesn't directly focus on it.

Violence & Gore

  • A man is shot and dies. Little or no blood is seen, but the body is seen on the floor throughout a following scene.
  • A man dies of "spontaneous combustion." When he is discovered, all we see left of him is his charred hand still smoldering.
  • One family Ester and Ada visit involves a woman who was abused by her husband (he admits to giving her a black eye) and their baby dies during the visit due to lack of nutrition and care.
