I’m looking for a movie that might be foreign. It involved a family brought into custody that invluded a teen girl who witnessed the stabbing death of a woman in some kind of detention center. The girl was later raped by the man who stabbed the wo.an and became pregnant. There was another attempted rape by someone else there but she managed to escape the detention center. Unknown title

It sounds like a Pedro Almodovar film, but I couldn’t find a perfect match.
Perhaps this one?

I already looked into the Almodovar movies. The style is similar but not a match. Sexual intimidation and political repression are central themes in this movie. The characters were all hispanic. The girl got pregnant from the rape. Someone else there attempted to rape her but she escaped. In a kind of monolog the girl’s older self recalls a difficult birth. It seemed like her son turned into a nefarious character as an adult. Politically motivated sexual violence is a common theme in movies and was particularly well choreographed in this one.
