"La pelicula trata problemas de la sociedad" vs "La pelicula trata de problemas de la sociedad"

The movie addresses society's problems vs The movie is about society's problems

So in Spanish these two phrases mean the same thing, or there is a difference? Trying to wrap my head around this one. I have always said "...sobre de" and I want to stop using this, replacing with trata or trata de used correctly. Gracias!

Gracias

You don't need a hyphen between "commonly" and "used" in the first sentence of this lesson, or indeed between any adverb and the adjective it modifies. That's what the -ly ending is for. 

The example sentence:

"En esta tienda pueden comprarse unas joyas muy bonitas."

The translation is given is 

"You can buy very nice jewels in this shop."

However could it also be translated as:

"They can buy themselves some very nice jewels in this shop." 

if we interpret the se as being an indirect object rather than passive?
