Violence and gore in Kum Zambağı
Violence is mostly referenced rather than shown: Afife recounts past domestic abuse and there's emotional fallout from that history. A few scenes show tense confrontations and a brief implied/flashback glimpse of a violent past, but the film avoids graphic depictions.

Occasional coarse language and heated insults occur in tense arguments; most instances are brief and in Turkish. Swear words and raised-voice exchanges happen but are not pervasive throughout the film.
