Movie - Omni Loop (2024)

My views

Plot

Zoya Lowe, a 55-year-old quantum physicist, finds herself stuck in a unique time loop. Diagnosed with a black hole growing in her chest, she has only one week to live. However, Zoya has been reliving this week for an unknown number of cycles, thanks to a mysterious bottle of pills she found when she was 12. Each pill sends her back in time 5 days, which she has used over the years to excel in life, but now she uses it to avoid her inevitable death.

Frustrated and bored with the repetition, Zoya's routine changes when she meets Paula, a grad student studying time at a local university. Zoya enlists Paula's help to analyze the pills, hoping to find a way to travel back decades and alter her past. The film explores Zoya’s reflection on her life, the missed opportunities, and her struggle with the pressure of second-wave feminism’s “you can have it all” mantra, which she feels she failed to fulfill.

As Zoya and Paula delve deeper into the science behind the pills, the narrative becomes a poignant examination of alternative lives and the grief of knowing one’s end is near. Zoya must come to terms with her past decisions and the impact of her mortality.
