You should be able to use your key to manually open it. What model car is it?

Kats, if you don't have a key hole in the trunk, what you can do is to get a spare power source (second battery, neighbors car, etc) and then access the engine bay. From here, what you will need to do is to get a set of jumper cables and connect them such that the negative battery cable gets connected to the block of the motor and then you should have a jump post under the hood. Connect the positive of the jumper cables there. At this point, you should be able to open the trunk as the car will have power via your spare source.
