The movie is about a young child that's been murdered. The ending is also a bit ambiguous as to if the main character might die.

The main character is supposedly autistic (though never specified or mentioned in the movie), many scenes in which they are struggling with social cues, repetitive behaviors etc.

There’s not what I’d call “abuse” thats specific to autism, but I’m saying yes just to safe guard anyone who needs to prepare for related verbal insults, because the protagonist is obviously Autistic, and though for the most part he appears to be well accepted by his community, once he starts questioning the death of a child, there are is a cop who verbally insults him relating to his intelligence as a way of gaslighting him, and his daughter’s mum makes it quite clear that she doesn’t want people to think they were ever a couple (they appear to have gotten pregnant from one drunken hook up) due to embarrassment over him being autistic.
