Sex & Nudity

  • The two main characters engage in a somewhat sexual scene. The 12-year-old girl (which is played by a 14-year-old actress) and the 20-year-old 'mentally challenged' male character (played by a 29-year-old actor) are together in the kitchen after together having washed his hair. The girl initially kisses the male character's face in a 'playful' and non-sexual manner, but then becomes serious and kisses him once (passionately) on the mouth.
  • At another point in the movie the girl muses (while writing in her journal) whether 'she will ever become a woman' given their situation of being stranded for such a long time on an island in the middle of the ocean. The scene can be a bit uncomfortable to watch, especially given that the male character has the mental capacity of a 5-year-old. The forced nature of the scene is also troubling. Nothing happens further between these characters.

Sex & Nudity

  • Immediately after this she proceeds to sit on his lap while they embrace in a hug of sorts, and at this point she begins to rock/hump against him in a clearly sexual manner. The 'mentally challenged' character does not understand what is happening, and does not encourage or reciprocate this action. His face shows discomfort, and he moans in a manner that makes it clear he is not comfortable with what is transpiring. Near the end of the scene he says "c'est mal" ("it's bad"), but the girl continues her actions unabated. The scene ends (non-verbally) with what could be construed as the male character reaching an unwanted orgasm. At this point he whimpers/cries somewhat, and while holding the towel against his groin, rushes out of the house and jumps into the ocean. (Afterwards swimming away.)
