Description

In the first scene of the movie, a woman who is a nurse (the protagonist's mother) explains that she got pregnant by having sex with a wounded soldier, completely unresponsive (unable to give consent) but having erections. She tells the same story to another character later on, who is digusted by the fact that she 'raped a dying man'. Still early in the movie, a young girl explains to a young boy that having a baby happens when a woman says that she has a headache, and when her husband undresses her anyway, impliying that she heard her father raping her mother. A girl watches a man and a woman having sex without their consent. In a women/feminist community, a man tries to help a woman who accidently fell on the ground: she immediately rebuffs him and has a panic attack, impliying that she was sexually abused by a man and suffers from PTSD. Other women come to help her and explain the situation to the man. Rape is mentioned several times at this occasion, and later on during the rest of the movie (with mentions of rape threats by men toward the community). The protagonist (a 30 year old man) has sex with a teenage babysitter who says that she is 18 (he asks her twice). After that, his wife (about the same age) engages in a sexual relationship with one of her male students (about 18).
