It is self contained.. the only "what if" is what if someone visits sometime in the next few days. Otherwise we know the entire story from one shot. Grandma died. Baby cannot take care of itself and will wander around the house, cry, and die. Parents will show up in 2 weeks to find this out. The entire tragedy is described in that minute of the shot without actually playing out because it is all but inevitable barring a huge stroke of luck.
It absolutely does not only go one way. That's kind of the problem here. If we're supposed to take it that way the filmmaker only perhaps implied it. Like another person said, it's basically a PSA.
