The main character has to hide his hobby, though, and there is a couple of scenes where his parent asks around about it or follows him quietly. They do find a way to deal with it and return to mutual support.

Male lead (aged 11) is slammed repeatedly against a wall by his father before breaking away and running. His dance instructor also slaps him after he crosses a line with her. Throughout the film, he is accused of being gay and ridiculed for his interest in dance.

Male lead's mother is recently deceased and the loss of her factors heavily into the strain on the family. We see many references to her, including a letter she wrote being read aloud, the father chopping up her piano for firewood out of desperation, and her appearance in the kitchen as male lead vividly remembers her scolding him for drinking milk straight from the bottle. We do not see her death or learn of how she died, but it is implied that her death was expected following an illness.

A lot of the scenes involve police, though, and the ongoing strike plays an important part in the main character's family members' lives. The police is not pro-government and protects the miners from the strike members.
Police officers are shown wearing helmets and holding see-through shields, chasing the leader of the strike, arresting him and beating him (there's blood, but it doesn't look like he needs to go to a hospital).
Children around eleven years old are shown on the same street, walking past still police officers and talking or watching the beating.

Sort of; an angry mob throws food at a bus and tries to stop it, and we can see a character inside the bus who is very uncomfortable, but his breathing and vision are fine.

There is hate speech, but the young queer character is not assaulted and an affectionate gesture does not cause any homophobia, just light confusion and gratitude.
