so why were the two imprisoned in that concrete space? my guess is that they were a couple... however, as the man got out, it seemed like he got it all - including who was responsible for it..
i don't think i got it though :\

Did you guys not see the last 5 minutes?
You see the two people in a flat, bleeding to death from stab wounds. It's clear enough that they either had a fight and stabbed each other or one stabbed the other and then themselves. The cramped concrete maze is obviously purgatory before their deaths, or maybe some sort of spiritual punishment.
Totally agree with you!
shareDid you guys not see the last 5 minutes?interesting theory. But that poses several questions:

this is a good short film and i think its very open to interpretation - my view is:
- the maze was the man struggling to get out of unconsciousness
- the women had stabbed the man then killed herself
- when the woman said she was trapped while trying to go somewhere meant she regretted marrying the guy as she had to give up on her lifes dreams and thats why she stabbed him/killed herself
- the scene where they were watching fireworks was a memory
- the scene showing the man older means only he survived after calling the emergency services
ok. doesn't answer 1) though.
shareHe still loves her. He doesn't want to let her die.
shareHe loves her, stabs her, she almost dies, he still loves her, says "I will rescue you" ...
extremely plausible
It's been a while since I saw it, but I don't think there is any reason to think it must of been him that killed her. I seem to remember thinking it was more of a robbery gone wrong scenario. Maybe I'm forgetting something.

I think it's clear that they both survived. You know the guy is still alive because he's obviously shown at the end, walking around and then looking at the sky, while his vision is obscured by the cloths. The woman also survived the ordeal because she is shown in the picture, aged just like the man. As to whether or not she's alive at the time of the ending is unknown, maybe they separated or she died from natural causes/illness/etc.
It's obvious that the concrete maze is some type of purgatory, and when he found the exit, which lead to the couple's house, he awoke from unconsciousness. The woman also escaped somehow, as she woke up as well and evidently survived her wounds.
The only thing I didn't understand was the symbolism behind the towels and such obscuring his attempt to look at the sky.
