The father in this movie is a very strict man who constantly criticizes his children. There's a scene at a dinner table where, in response to his son's perceived disrespectful behavior, the father becomes physically abusive, grabbing him in an aggressive way and hauling him out of the room. His wife and children are frightened and upset. Later, the wife shoves the husband and he manhandles her in a painful way.

Shortly after this, the boy Jack witnesses a man and a woman in another house having an argument where the man is being very aggressive.

There is no miscarriage, but just a warning that this movie could be painful to watch for anyone struggling with infertility. One of the main themes is the importance of having children, and the film suggests that this is what gives one's life meaning.
