Franz/Fiala - Die Trud:
The dead body of a goat is briefly seen on camera. Death off camera, no external signs of violence.


Evrenol - Al Karisi:
A goat, believed to be a demonic manifestation, is brutally killed on camera with a knife. Pretty graphic and disturbing scene.


Katrin Gebbe - A Nocturnal Breath:
The animals of a small farm are infected with a supernatural plague. The young farmer is forced to euthanize a diseased cow and his beloved dog. Both scenes are more sad than violent.

The German short shows a woman walking around with a clearly broken foot, but she seems unbothered by it.

Might want to skip Melonheads. It's suggested that parents have died in the German story as well.

There are a couple of bathing scenes in the Austrian short, but in a river not a shower. Someone washes blood off of themselves in the sink in the Turkish short. Someone is spied on while bathing in the German short.

In the US short, there are characters with extremely large heads, but they are not bothered by it. In fact, when asked what is wrong with one boy's head, the boy replies, 'Nothing is wrong.'

In the Turkish short someone is trapped in a well. The Bengali short has people chained in a basement and a hatch that leads to a narrow stairway

However, the first short film deals heavily with homophobia and religiously motivated guilt surrounding gay attraction.

The main character is slapped by her mother for kissing another girl, told her behavior is sinful and will attract a demon. Subsequently, the rest of the film deals with the girl assuming misfortunes in her life are the direct result of her being attracted to and intimate with another girl. Neither character dies, but homophobia is a major theme of the short.
