Scenes
The youngest boy pees at school, sending a big stream up onto the wall. This causes the Islamic school officials to notice that he is not circumcised, so his father makes him go under the knife.
In a later scene, the boy is taking a badly needed pee into a chamber pot late at night, when his older brothers arrive home after drinking. His brother pushes him out of the way so that he can pee and puke into the chamber pot, leaving the younger boy to run frantically to his parents' room (where they are having sex) and use their chamber pot.
One of the older brothers pees in an outdoor bathroom.
The opening scene shows a boy getting into a wash tub. He appears to urinate into it first, but actually he is just pouring hot water into it.
