not directly, but there's a convoluted situation. [major spoilers]
.

.
a man had a prior relationship and a child with his sister in law, and plays on the discomfort of that angle towards several parties, forcing a kiss on the sister in law, threatening to tell the child of his parentage or outright kill the child

the premise of the film is whether someone fell off a cliff and drowned or not; someone is shown floating face down in a body of water

off screen, death unsure, but shown on the cliff and then floating face down; the whole film questions whether someone has fallen off a cliff and died in the water

I don't think she ever truly means it, but several times through the film the main character defends her abuser's actions, both as he is telling her to in the midst of/after assaulting her, and to family when they protest the harm she's experiencing. hearing this portrayal could be harmful to people sensitive to that

it's a pretty harrowing film. a woman is consistently abused, threatened, and terrorized -- the abuse she experiences is graphic and central to the plot
