Scenes
Young men urinate through a series of connected tubes onto someone's head.
Luka's (Slavko Stimac's) girlfriend Sabaha (Natasa Solak) goes off to pee in some trees while Luka is looking for a boat to cross a river. She is shown from the waist up as she squats, and there are a couple quick shots of her butt through the sight of a sniper's rifle, but no stream is visible. Her peeing can be heard a couple of times when her face is shown in close-up.
