Sex & Nudity

  • A man holds onto his wife's hands, embraces her, and drops to her torso. He then lifts her shirt, revealing her stomach/waist, and unzips her jeans, revealing partial underwear, while touching and rubbing his face on her torso briefly. He then stands up, they hug; and the scene cuts, possibly implying sex afterwards.
