Sex & Nudity
None
A great deal of talk about how the palace was previously a harem. None of the talk is especially explicit, but it is throughout the film.
There is quite the suggestive scene with a panting woman on her knees right in front of a man. While it is clearly being played for sexual tension, both parties are fully dressed.
Most of the film takes place at a former palace in India. Some of the walls have drawings of topless women.
Profanity
None
Some racism speech.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
None
A character is shown drunk.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
Moderate
One of the sisters is strongly implied to be seriously mentally ill, and the movie plays up her creepiness in several scenes throughout.
