Swedish censorship / rating

Certificate number 208137
Date 2022-01-21
Classification Allowed from age 11
Grounds for decision Framställningen behandlar svår tematik såsom självmord och att förlora en förälder. Den innehåller inslag av starkt uppslitande stämning, förtvivlade skrikande människor, en flicka som misshandlar en annan flicka samt en flicka som tar emot ett besked att hennes mamma dött. Detta kan medföra stark rädsla oro. Framställningen bedöms kunna vara till skada för välbefinnandet för barn under 11 år.
