The man abducts the woman and keeps her in the back of his car, his mind. He realizes that keeping her there is no good for her well being. He tries to pretend that he doesn't care about her pain, but eventually must let her go.
She then puts him in the back of her car, her mind. She learns how to move along in her life with him behind her, even though he is always with her, simply hidden.
However, she has difficulty moving on completely and out of sentiment chooses to remain captive, even though he has let her go. She remains vulnerable to other travelers, so vulnerable that even just a person traveling down the same road could end her life.
I like that most of what has happened is in the past, and the video is showing her looking back at the past. The director leaves her still bound by her memories with only chalk to make marks. However, she is still alive. The end shows where the director currently saw her - laying alone, in contemplation, trying to remember and make sense of the cruel experience. However, she is free and while unbinding herself will take her own effort, her future is now under her own control. The audience can see this, but can she?
