A young man enters a home without being invited in. He is alone with a little girl who looks to be about eight years old. He holds her in his lap and rubs her legs, making her uncomfortable. The child's aunt calls her, and the young man runs out before any more damage can be done. Later, though, when the little girl is a young adult, the same man comes back, beats her violently, and holds her captive.
There are several scenes with intense content, including rape, domestic violence, and death threats.
A woman goes to confession at her church and professes her feelings for another woman. She doesn't come out and say it, but it is heavily implied that she is a lesbian. She doesn't talk about wanting to have sex with the woman, but she does express a desire to be near her.
The scene where a woman's dead body is discovered may be very frightening to some viewers.
Ferula enters a home and walks toward a couple and their teenager without saying a word. She comes over and kisses Meryl Streep's character on the cheek, then walks out. With tears in her eyes, Meryl Streep's character says "Ferula is dead." The husband runs to the door, where Ferula exited, but she is nowhere to be seen. This can be considered very creepy to watch. |
