Edmond and Mercedes, two unmarried lovers, are seen swimming nude but view is from below and bodies are dark. They are then seen from afar having sex on the beach. Shoulders and up are seen. Later when fully clothed, they lay down together as the scene fades out. A child results from this fornication. Mercedes is referred to as a "whore" by her husband. Edmond and Mercedes spend the night together later in the film when Mercedes is married to someone else. In the morning she rises and runs out of a room with only a sheet around her.

This is France. So drinking is common. Drinking in almost every scene not at the Chautea D'ff.
The prison may be frightening to some kids.
