One of the main characters wakes up after a night of partying next to the bloody corpse of a naked woman in his bed: she was stabbed and he has a knife in his hand. He is immediately arrested and admits that he does not know if he is guilty or not. However, he is innocent. Later on, the same man recounts a story (mentioning in passing that he could have forced a woman to be his wife) about how he denounced a woman who had killed her violent husband after years of sexual and physical abuse (which started when she was 17). Short flashbacks of the abuses are shown (the man hitting her while being on top of her), as well as her punishment (being forcefully stripped and branded with burning iron before being hanged). During a party, the female antagonist takes advantage of a drunk man to seduce him and steal something from him when they are kissing. Worthy of note: a subplot involves the arranged marriage of an adult man and a presumably younger girl. The ceremony takes place in the final scenes of the film.
