A woman unzips a man's fly and grabs his penis in the middle of a party, and he's visibly uncomfortable, not knowing what to do. Her husband is right next to them.
SPOILER --- SPOILER --- SPOILER --- SPOILER --- An Israeli spy is hanged. Regardless of how you feel about Israel/Mossad and the whole Middle-East conflict, you must feel sorry for his wife and two small children who lose their husband/father in a horrible way. Also, at the very end, we see a photo of the actual real life person the character is based on hanging from the noose. That doesn't - or shouldn't - exactly make one feel elated.
The sound of a body hitting the ground after a long fall (we see the person hitting the ground, too, but from some distance and out of focues); the person dies, and we see his dead body surrounded by a big pool of blood.
Well... It's hard to say, really, in this context. It's all about the enmity between Israel and Syria (and the Arab world as a whole), and the parts of the movie that take place in Syria of course show people hating the Israelis and wanting to defeat them. But I don't recall anything like "filthy Jews" or the like being said; it's more about the Israeli state. ... We're shown discrimination of Arabs (or what they think is an Arab) by Israelis.
No, but a pregnant woman's water breaks, we see the water spurting out from under her skirt. A while later, we see that she has the child, so everything went well.
A woman is pregnant; she doesn't die. However, for a while it looks like something has gone wrong. It hasn't, though; everything is fine, and the baby is fine.
SPOILER ----- SPOILER ----- SPOILER ----- SPOILER ----- SPOILER ----- The father of two small children is hanged, and it's filmed/photographed, so the children might conceivably see footage and/or photos of it at some point in their lives.
Yes, but he doesn't want to - in fact he hates it and tries to avoid it - but he has to do it to strengthen his cover. We're not told/shown if he actually has sex with the other woman - it's likely that he doesn't, since it takes place in an Arab country, where culture often prevents premarital sex - but they plan on getting married (i.e. it will be secret bigamy), and we do see them kiss a little. I don't think his wife finds out.
Very much so; it's horrible. There's a long execution scene, in which we see a man walking to the scaffold and having the noose put around his neck. The camera angle shifts to underneath the scaffold, so that we don't see the hanging itself, instead only hearing the trapdoor falling open. It's a harrowing scene, but what's worse is that, shortly thereafter, at the very end of the movie, we see a photo of the actual, real life man whose life the movie is based on hanging from the noose. Let me repeat: WE SEE A REAL LIFE PHOTO OF A HANGED MAN.
A man is thrown from a balcony during a fight. We clearly see him falling and hear him screaming. He also hits the ground on-screen, but it's very dark (night+shadow), so you can see almost nothing. BUT afterwards we see him lying dead on the ground, surrounded by a large pool of blood.
Very badly. It's "classic" torture with suspension, electric jolts, beating etc. Very bloody. And we see the fingers of someone who has had their finger nails removed.
A group of people are in a smallish underground bunker, the only window a rather narrow horisontal slit. They're not locked up there, but one of them can't escape the extremely uncomfortable and tense situation he's put in in there, since he's in danger of being exposed as a spy if he tries to leave.
I'm not sure there are slurs as such, but there are lines like, "Otherwise, people may think that you're funny that way", obviously referring to homosexuality.
I'm not sure that we're told/shown outright, but someone says to someone else, who perhaps seems a bit off, "Must have been some strong hashish" (or something like that).
No, but two children never experience living with their father, and they only get to see him once or twice over the course of 2-3 years, because he chooses to be stationed as an undercover agent in another country over being there for them. ---SPOILER --- SPOILER --- SPOILER --- SPOILER --- SPOILER --- In the end, while the children are still very small, he's executed, and they don't even get to say goodbye. He could've chosen not to run the very real risk of dying because of his "job", but he didn't. So I feel like it's child neglect on his part. Fortunately, they have their mother and other living people around them.
If not gaslighting, then close. After all, it's a spy story, and the spies must do anything to avert suspicion, so there are lines like; "What? I have no idea what you're talking about".
Possibly. There's a young man who we can be pretty certain is gay, or at least bi, based on things he says and emotions he displays, although we're not actually told or outright shown that he is. This young man is horribly tortured during interrogation towards the end of the movie, and we don't see him again after that. He may very well have died from the torture or been killed in the end, but we don't know.
Eli Cohen leaves his unborn and then young children for many months at a time to the point where when he visits they don’t know who he is. *SPOILER* He ultimately abandons them by going back the final time and then is caught and hanged
I'm 99.9 % sure that there aren't any horses, but in any case nothing bad happens to a horse. There's mule/donkey (perhaps more than one), but nothing bad happens to it.
What with people being shot all over the place, a man lying dead on the ground after a fall from a balcony, and so on, there's lots of blood. The most gory thing is in episode 4, when we see burnt corpses.
