Karma.

The film seems to present the idea of Karma in a real world setting fitted with real world causes. The idea it seems, is that Karma is real world force based on a "you reap what you sow" type principle, rather then the result of some mystical force or cycle.

Each example mirrors the next in it's given context, one such instance being that of a revenge killing, or a 'defense' killing in the heat of passion. A girl is struck by her boyfriend, and in the heat of the emotion that was brought on by her abuser, she comes back armed, and with her head probably still stuck in the prior moment she fires to assure that no future like-incidents occur again. Would the young man who struck her have succumb to this instance of Karma had he not done such a thing? According to my perception of the film's message, a resounding probably not comes to mind.
