The whole movie is about a Stasi officer who is spying on a couple who are under suspicion by the East German government. They are constantly being listened to, watched, and occasionally followed.

A woman who is in a relationship is coerced into sex with a government official who threatens her career. She is clearly very unwilling and the power differential between them means there is no freely given consent, so it is not cheating.

Suicide is an important theme. A friend of a main character dies by suicide - not shown, but there is a scene at his funeral. A main character then publishes an article about the high suicide rate under the current government and there's a lot of discussion of this article. Later, near the end, another major character dies by suicide (by walking into traffic - this is shown onscreen).

the movie shows the sexual assault happening beforehand (groping etc.) and shows the rapist removing his underwear. the scene cuts after that.

Someone deliberately walks into the road, gets hit by a truck, and dies a minute later. The scene is fairly graphic.

At the very beginning a prisoner is interrogated while severely sleep deprived as a torture method. There are other interrogation scenes where threats are made to get prisoners to comply, but there are no other depictions of torture.
