L'immensità

A husband tries to force himself on his wife, though is stopped by their child. He hits her on another occasion, and she is found crying on the floor. He is verbally abusive and threatening at other times, including physically trying to shove food in a child's mouth and slapping another and threatening to "break" them. Children are smacked by parents and slapped in the face on two occasions. Kids scuffle and hit each other. A child is shown out of breath and uses an inhaler, followed by a visit from the doctor. A child also defecates on the floor. A fire guts a room of an apartment, though only the aftermath is shown. A character struggles with their mental health and checks into a center to recover from a presumed breakdown.

Language is infrequent but includes "f--k," "s--t," "bulls--t," "a--holes," "bitch," and name-calling such as "wimp," "idiot," and "snitch." The word "retarded" is used as is "gypsies."

The film deals with a storyline involving a trans child and was made by transgender director Emanuele Crialese. It was nominated for a GLAAD (a non-profit LGBTQ advocacy organization) Media Award for Outstanding Film -- Limited Release. Adri's gender identity is not really mentioned among friends and family -- his father is dismissive and most people use female pronouns when referring to him, though his mother shows unconditional love and support. Perhaps to highlight the binary gender roles in the strict Catholic community, girls play with dolls, boys with soldiers; men go out in the rain to open car doors while women wait inside; and children at school wear white or black, depending on whether they are male or female. The central family is upper middle-class, and children refer to other kids as "gypsies" and are told by their parents not to play with them -- the implication being because of their lower social standing. Most characters have slim body types and one child with a larger body type is often seen eating. A character struggles with their mental health and checks into a center to recover from a presumed breakdown, though specifics aren't mentioned and it isn't openly talked about within the family, implying a level of shame.
