Shayda

An abusive man shoves a woman against a wall and attempts to strangle her. When another man attempts to intervene, the abuser knocks him to the ground and repeatedly kicks him, leaving his face somewhat bloodied.

A traumatised woman is stalked, aggressed and physically attacked by her estranged abusive husband, resulting in a sustained and building sense of threat. It is also strongly implied that her abuser intends to abduct her child. Another scene shows adults and children escaping from a burning building after an arson attack.

Bad language includes 'whore', ‘bloody’, 'shit' and ‘bullshit’.

There are upsetting but verbally undetailed references to sexual violence in the context of domestic abuse.

The film follows a woman who has recently moved into a women’s shelter with her young daughter to escape her abusive marriage. She is forced to interact with her estranged husband for the purpose of court ordered visitations, during which he displays increasingly threatening and aggressive behaviour, culminating in him stalking and attacking her. Other scenes feature non-explicit verbal accounts of previous abuse, including physical and sexual violence. The film also explores the emotional and psychological toll of these events on her young child.
