It is implied that two characters have sex at the very beginning of the film but it isn't graphic and doesn't last long. He briefly undresses her behind a screen (we see their silhouettes) and the it cuts to her asleep in bed and him watching over her, shirtless.

The protagonist has his head held under water and he later holds someone else's head under a stream of water. Neither drown due to this but worth mentioning in case it makes some uncomfortable.
