Luz: The Light of the Heart

Lead character is raised in an indigenous community called Kaingang and is very proud of her origins. There are glimpses of traditions like face and body painting and dancing. Actors in this community are mostly Indigenous themselves. Some native idioms are used, but not all are translated/explained. Most kids at school express respect and curiosity in learning about the Kaiangang culture. The school's PE teacher uses a wheelchair.

Little explicit violence or scares, but heavy plots/themes, like kids getting forcibly separated from parents. An adult uses a mobile phone while driving, leading to a fatal accident, but we don't see the crash, only a bright light, and the sound effects are subdued. A scene implies a character could physically harm a baby, but someone walks in before it happens. A character sets fire to a bookshop. Men handle large amounts of cash for bribery. Characters walk through the woods with a threatening blade knife. A child character is chased through woods on a couple of occasions.

During a birth sequence, a young baby is shown naked. A side plot features a love triangle between teachers and they kiss.

Adults often act short-tempered towards kids and sound authoritative even if they don't use negative language. Grandpa character calls the baby a "cursed child" and their mom a "gold-digger". Kids call each other names like "stuck up," "brat," "slacker."
