The main idea of the film is to try and externalise the internal thoughts.  Advice often given in cognitive psychology is two write down your inner thoughts.  Once these thoughts are written down on paper and they seem ridiculous or separate.

The problem here was how to externalise a suicide attempt.  The solution in the film is to mirror the events with two characters the audience assumes to be in different locations with a surprise “reveal” at the end.
