You're missing my point completely.
I'm suggesting that the entire movie (except for maybe the first few scenes in the psychiatrists office) is simply a "metaphor" for their continued therapy sessions.
[b]There is no estate with a guesthouse.[/b]
Everything in the movie is some kind of visual symbolism for what's going on in their minds during their couples therapy sessions. First they want to "leave the estate", i.e. discontinue the therapy sessions. Then they gradually, with the help of the therapist, uncover aspects of their personalities that they don't normally display. Finally, they are done with the therapy and "go home".
Instead of a boring movie of a couple going to session after session of couples therapy (probably individually, as the "guesthouse" doesn't work if they enter it simultaneously), we get a weird and fun metaphor movie about the subject. Kind of like the scenes in "Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind" where Jim Carey is running from collapsing memories (but really he's just sitting in a memory-erasing machine).
