Maybe. During the wedding scene the camera is shaky, it seems like the main character is overwhelmed and has trouble taking it all in. This could represent a form of dissociation from the situation and her environment

Ambiguous: in the beginning of the story we see a man taking photos of the main character, and later another character mentioned that he has been keeping an eye on her for some time

Character intentionally cuts her upperleg, not to self harm, but in order to feign menstruation / period blood, so she can avoid rape

Ambiguous. The scene in which a character partakes in a rite of passage / initation ritual involves the slaughter of goats. These goats are more herd than pets, but they do live in the home of the characters, and there are scenes in which characters wow affection towards the herd

The scene in which a character partakes in a rite of passage / initation ritual involves the slaughter of goats. I am not sure if there are actual images of dead animals show afterwards (I shut my eyes during the scene). Later in the film, we do see characters prepare and eat goat meat
