I can't help but think this film is a metaphor for African immigration in Europe.
I can't imagine what its purpose is, otherwise.

From what I remember it was about guilt. How we all convince ourselves we're responsible when a tragedy happens.

Yes, of course that's the primary motivator for the protagonist, but I'm interested in what the writer's motivation was. The doctor keeps harping on the "door" and how she didn't "open the door." At one point she says "if I opened the door, she'd be alive like I am." And SHE is an unknown African woman, with SO many white characters sharing in the guilt for her demise.
