There is a lot of (mostly female) nudity, but it is mostly non sexual in a bathing facility. However, the story line is primarily one of a boy/young man's coming of age, trying to see and then to have sex with (any) woman.

A young girl takes off her clothes in front of a young boy and is seen topless. She is later seen completely naked in the boy's bed; it is strongly implied that they have sex.

The religious ritual of male child circumcision is shown right up to, but not including, the actual cut. Then the main character is shown hearing the child's cries, and he winces. This may be disturbing to all adult men.
