Quicksand

In the end, Sofia manages to escape the quicksand with the help of the snake she kills with Josh’s knife, and she drags herself out using the improvised rope from the hunter’s backpack. Despite her weakness, she pushes to find help, driven by the thought of her missed opportunities and the fact that her relationship with Josh is hanging by a thread. Eventually, she is found and rescued by Marcos and the team, returning to Josh’s side in the ambulance. The movie closes with Sofia gazing at Josh and their rescuers, feeling relief and a glimmer of hope amid the chaos.

Throughout the film, the story explores themes of strained relationships, survival, and the realization of what truly matters. Nonetheless, the couple’s differences and toxicity make it hard for their story to end on a note of redemption. While Sofia’s rescue signifies a return to life and possibility, the film ultimately emphasizes that chaos and selfishness have clouded their chances at happiness. The ending suggests that, perhaps, after this harrowing experience, they might finally see what they’ve been missing—though the film leaves their future uncertain. It’s a story of struggle, regret, and the fragile hope that comes with overcoming the worst.
