The only thing the handles are doing, are providing a lever to pull a metal rod, which opens the latch. Try to open up the door panel as much as you can and pull on the rod. If the door doesn't open, the latch might be bent or stuck.

***update!***
found out what the problem was. there is a spring that connects two moving parts of the mechanism. turns out that one of the hooks on the spring broke. i figured it out after about 15mins. it took long because it was in a very tight spot...
