He never dies, but Ove attempts suicide

One of the first scenes starts with the protagonist attempting suicide by hanging himself from the ceiling in his living room.

He also tries to gas himself in his locked car and near the end, tries to shoot himself but all attempts fail.

Parvaneh is pregnant throughout the film. At the end the baby has been born (no childbirth scene). Ove's wife Sonja is shown pregnant in flashbacks as well.

Prejudice

(Minor spoilers) Ove's wife Sonja loses her ability to walk in an accident and uses a wheelchair. This indirectly and directly affects her ability to get a job. Language: the use of English-language subtitle "wheelchair-bound". Behavior: jobs refuse to hire Sonja because they have stairs and are not wheelchair accessible, and refuse to build ramps.

Fairly graphic. Ove is shown being tosses around inside the bus as it rolls down a cliffside. He is shown bloodied but not seriously wounded. The wreckage of the bus is shown and Ove looks under it to see his wife Sonja, who is seriously injured (though not graphically injured).
