violence
A woman hears persistent knocking and sounds of distress coming from another flat and comes to believe that another woman is being abused, possibly by a spouse or partner. In another scene she witnesses an argument between a couple which she interprets as evidence of domestic abuse.
threat and horror
A woman becomes convinced that another person is being held captive and is likely to be murdered, but when she tries to persuade others to help they dismiss her fears as mental illness. Another scene shows blood pooling on the woman’s ceiling and dripping onto her face.
