If you want to get the boot open then there should be access from the rear side (in the boot) of the door 

GoogleaIs "audi a3 emergency boot release" for lots of indications and the release method. 

If you want to fix it then it's probably a solenoid so again Google something like "audi a3 boot latch fault" that should give you several videos on how to strip the door and investigate the problem.

The catch in the boot is electronic so might be the switch on the handle that’s broken and needs replacing
