We see a couple passionately kissing before moving to the bedroom. They undress each other and we see him bare-chested and her wearing a bra. They’re walked in on by an unexpected visitor and it’s a momentary glimpse of her on top of him, seen from behind. They quickly jump out of bed and cover themselves.
