Grounds for decision En tung skildring av ett komplicerat förhållande mellan en mor och en son där modern kämpar med sina känslor kring sonens beteende och ofattbart tragiska handlingar. Framställningen innehåller en genomgående tung och obehaglig stämning som kretsar kring ett dysfunktionellt förhållande mellan en mor och en son med inslag av tragiska och smärtsamma scener med desperata och skadade människor samt kroppar som genomborrats av pilar vilket bedöms kunna vara till skada för välbefinnandet hos barn under 15 år.
