An elderly woman contemplates her life during a taxi ride to a care home in an often disturbing French drama in which her recollections include harrowing scenes of rape and domestic abuse, and alarming retaliatory violence.

violence
Scenes of domestic abuse include those in which a violent husband verbally and physically abuses his wife and young stepson. These scenes include a heavy slap to the boy and his wife, with the latter blow splitting the woman's lip, and a scene in which the man intentionally invades his wife's personal space and forces a kiss on her. The woman subsequently exacts violent retribution against her abusive husband, who she drugs before burning his genitals below frame with a blowtorch.
language
There is strong language ('f**k'), as well as milder terms (for example, 'asshole', 'shit', 'bastard', 'balls', 'jerk', 'God', 'damn').
sexual violence and sexual threat
Following a scene of domestic violence, a woman is raped by her husband.
additional issues
There are also verbal death references, as well as scenes in which people grieve.
