Stuck

Lola and Cole are seemingly two strangers stuck in a stalled elevator. But they soon discover through their conversation that they were lovers 20 years prior in college until he broke it off.

Why they don’t recognize each other is because they both have changed physically. After their breakup, she dyed her hair blonde, got breast implants and transformed her body through CrossFit. Muscular with flowing blond locks in college, he now has a buzzcut and a small beer gut.  Surgery on his vocal cords also has changed his voice.

He then finds out that she was pregnant when he ended their relationship and they have a son. He also discovers that she has wanted to kill him for two decades. When the elevator doors suddenly pop open, she shoves him down the elevator shaft. For a moment she is elated. Then she suddenly has murderer’s remorse but becomes ecstatic when he climbs back into the elevator after grabbing an elevator cable and pulling himself up.

They still are stuck in the elevator. He is happy they are stuck together while she seems resigned to it. But she does agree to let him meet their son, something she was reluctant to do prior to pushing him down the shaft.
