OMNI LOOP follows Zoya Lowe (Parker), a quantum physicist who finds herself in a time loop, with a black hole growing in her chest and only a week to live. But what the doctors and her family don’t know is that she has already lived this week before; so many times, in fact, that she doesn’t even know how long it’s been. Until one day Zoya meets a gifted student named Paula (Edebiri). Together they team up to save her life – and to unlock the mysteries of time travel.

00:00The story begins with a writer named Soya who is spending her final days in the hospital.
00:05She was diagnosed years ago with a large hole in her heart and now the doctors say
00:10she has only one week left to live. The doctors tell her husband Donald and her daughter Jane
00:15to take her home and spend her final days with her in comfort. Jane's husband is also with them
00:20as they take Soya home. Her family tries different things to make her happy and help her enjoy the
00:26last week of her life. But Soya doesn't talk to anyone, stays silent, and just watches the days
00:31go by. The next day, some people from her publishing house come to visit her. They had published many of
00:37Soya's science books and wanted her to talk to them one last time about her final book, which is missing
00:42the last chapter. They hope to finish it and publish it, but Soya is not interested. The next day, Soya
00:48is asked to sign her will. It explains how her belongings will be divided among her family and
00:53that her science books will be donated to a nursing home. Help me reach my goal of 10 likes and 5
00:58comments. Comment as much as you want. The goal is to achieve it. Her family also takes her to the
01:04beach to a massage lounge, hoping she'll feel better. But Soya remains silent through the entire process.
01:10Why? Why is Soya so silent in her final days? It's a mystery that is revealed later. One day,
01:17Soya visits her mother Sandra, who lives in a nursing home. But Sandra is very old now and no
01:23longer recognizes anyone. While Soya is sitting on a bench outside, another elderly woman comes and
01:29sits next to her. Soya politely tells the woman not to sit there because a bird is about to poop on
01:35that spot. Surprisingly, it happens exactly as Soya said. The surprised woman asks how she knew that
01:41was going to happen. Soya finally reveals her secret. She is trapped in a time loop, reliving the last
01:48seven days of her life over and over again. That's why she's been so quiet. She already knows
01:53everything that's going to happen. Soya explains that when she was a child, she found a strange
01:58bottle full of pills. After taking one, she discovered that the pills allowed her to go back
02:04in time seven days. Now she keeps using those pills to restart the last week of her life,
02:09right before dying. Every time she takes a pill, she wakes up in the hospital again,
02:14and the same week begins again. The bottle of pills never runs out. Every time she goes back in
02:19time, the bottle is full again. So she has gone through these seven days thousands of times. She
02:25knows everything that is going to happen when her family takes her home, when the editors come,
02:30when they go to the beach, and everything else. On the last day of the loop, her family always
02:35surprises her with a birthday celebration. Soya turns 55 that day, but shortly after, she starts
02:41bleeding from her nose, a sign that she is about to die. So she quickly takes another pill and
02:47restarts the week again. Time keeps repeating as always. Sometimes, Soya would tell the elderly
02:52woman at the nursing home that she was trapped in a time loop, even though she knew no one ever
02:57believed her. One day, while she was sitting with her mother, Soya saw a news report on television.
03:03The last rhinoceros left in the world had been brought to her city. Scientists hoped to save the
03:08species by studying and cloning it, but Soya already knew what would happen. She had seen it
03:13before. Every time, that rhinoceros would be killed before the week ended, and the species would go
03:18extinct forever. Soya had gone through this loop so many times that she was tired. This time, she
03:24didn't even bother to warn the old woman about the bird poop. As she got off on the bench, she
03:29accidentally bumped into a young university student named Pola. While helping her pick up her
03:34suitcases, Soya noticed something surprising. Pola had several books written by her. Curious,
03:40Soya asked her why she had so many books. Pola explained that she found them in the nursing home
03:45library, where people often donated old books. She said she was a student researching time at the
03:50university, and that Soya's books had helped her understand many important theories. Before Soya
03:56could talk more with Pola, Donald arrived to take her home. But on the way back, Soya began to think
04:02deeply. A new idea came to her. Once she tried to complete her old research on how time works,
04:08maybe if she could finally understand and solve the mystery of time, she could break the loop and
04:13never die. Although Soya wanted to finish her research, her family believed she only had a few
04:19days left to live, so they wouldn't let her leave the house. They wanted to spend every moment with her
04:24and didn't allow her to go to the lab. So before the current time loop ended, Soya made a decision.
04:29In the next loop, she would find Pola and work with her to continue the research.
04:34She memorized Pola's phone number and address so she could find her again. Then Soya took another
04:39pill and restarted the week by going back in time once more. This time, when she woke up in the
04:44hospital, Soya quickly asked her daughter Jane to go out and sign the papers with her father while
04:49they were distracted. Soya quietly escaped through the back door of the hospital. She knew her family
04:55would try to keep her home, thinking it was her last week alive. She ran straight to her house,
05:00grabbed her things, and took the pill bottle, her only way to restart the loop again. Later,
05:06she ran to Pola's house, but she had forgotten something. Since the loop had restarted, Pola had
05:11never met her before. Soya tried to explain everything about the time loop, the pills, and how she kept
05:18her living the same seven days. But Pola didn't believe her. To test her, Pola held a hand behind
05:24her back and asked Soya how many fingers she was holding up. Soya didn't know it was the first time
05:29this had happened. At the end of that loop, Soya took another pill and went back to the beginning.
05:35Once again, just like before escaping the hospital and going straight to Pola's house. This time,
05:40when Pola held up her fingers to test her, Soya knew the answer because she had already experienced
05:45that moment in the previous loop. She answered all of Pola's questions perfectly and told her about
05:50past conversations that Pola didn't even know had happened. Finally, Pola believed her. Now, Pola was
05:56ready to help Soya. As they walked to the university, Pola asked Soya how she created the tablets that
06:01allowed her to go back in time. Soya told her she didn't make them. In fact, when she was very young,
06:07she found a bottle of these strange tablets while playing. She later discovered that taking a tablet
06:12would send her exactly seven days into the past. And each time she traveled, the bottle would
06:18magically refill. This taught Soya two important things. The tablets only send her seven days back,
06:24no more than that. And she can't take another tablet during those seven days because the effect
06:29of the first one has to wear off before she can use another. The strangest part is that the tablets
06:34never run out. Even if you use one when going back in time, the bottle is full again, as if the
06:39tablet you took had never been used. Soya admits that she has no idea where the tablets came from
06:45or who left them for her. That mystery remains unsolved. She tells Pola that they should now
06:50focus their research on understanding these tablets, how they work, and whether it's possible
06:54to extend their power to go further back in time. Soya adds more strange data. The tablets cannot be
07:00destroyed, they don't melt, and even if someone breaks them, they regenerate perfectly after each time
07:06loop. It's as if they exist outside of time itself. Pola is fascinated and says she'll need to bring a
07:12special device from her professor's lab to study how the tablets regenerate. While Pola goes to get
07:17the device, Soya receives a call from her husband Donald. He is upset and asks her where she is.
07:23He reminds her that he only has a few days left to live and begs her to come home and spend his final
07:28moments with the family. For them, this is the first and only time Soya is experiencing this week,
07:34and they believe she will die soon. They don't know about the time loop, so they feel sad and
07:39hurt that Soya is spending her time away from them. On her way to meet her family, Soya unexpectedly
07:45runs into her former university professor, someone she hadn't seen in years. He is excited to see her
07:50and says she was always his brightest student. He invites her to his office and they sit down and
07:55talk about the old days. As they talk, the professor suddenly notices Pola sneaking around his office,
08:01trying to take a device without permission. When he finds out that Pola and Soya are working
08:06together, he gets furious. The professor, who already harbors some old resentment, tells Soya
08:13that he is disappointed in her. He reminds her that she used to get 100% on every exam and that he
08:18believed she would grow up to become an innovative scientist who could change the world, but instead
08:23she got married, left her career, and disappeared from the scientific world. Angry and hurt, he kicks them
08:29both out of his office and refuses to give them the device they need. After they leave, Soya finally
08:35opens up to Pola. She confesses that she didn't really earn those perfect grades in college. In
08:40truth, she used the tablets to time travel to cheat. I took the exam, memorized the questions, then went
08:46back in time and took it again, Soya says. That's how I always knew the answers. She wasn't as smart as
08:52people thought. She just had a secret advantage. She adds that even now she still doesn't know where the
08:57tablets came from or who created them. That mystery has followed her all her life. As they walk away
09:03from the professor's office, Pola reveals a shocking truth. She actually stole the device
09:08they needed. She says the professor had been using it to experiment on a test subject. A person who had
09:14been shrunk as part of a failed size reduction experiment. The professor was never able to stop
09:19the process and now that poor person keeps shrinking more and more with each passing moment. Soya and
09:25Pola take the device to a cold and safe place where they can safely place one of the time travel
09:30tablets inside. Their plan is to communicate with the shrinking man trapped inside in hopes that he
09:36can analyze the tablets at the atomic level and tell them how it works. As soon as they activate the
09:41power, the transmitter inside the box turns on, allowing the tiny man to communicate with them.
09:47Soya and Pola speak with him and explain everything. They beg him to help them understand the internal
09:52structure of the tablets and how it was made. The tiny man begins analyzing the tablets, but what he
09:58finds is far more complex than they ever imagined. He tells them that the structure of the tablets is
10:03not fixed. It keeps changing every second. It seems to exist simultaneously in the past, present, and future,
10:11as if it's not just an object but a piece of time itself. Both Soya and Pola are stunned. They realize
10:18they don't have the advanced tools or even a mental capacity to truly understand how the tablets work.
10:23Their equipment is too old and unstable and cannot handle the strange energy inside the tablets.
10:30Still, Soya refuses to give up. She continues using the tablets, repeating the time loop over and over,
10:37each time escaping from a hospital. She convinces Pola again that she can travel through time,
10:43and they begin to research from scratch. Even though Pola forgets everything with each loop,
10:48Soya patiently earns her trust every time. Amid all this, Soya also finds moments to visit her family,
10:55because for them each loop is their only moment with her, and they believe she is dying.
11:00Despite all her efforts, Soya makes no progress in understanding the tablets.
11:05Time loops continued endlessly. Each time she took a tablet moment before her death,
11:10resetting the week to dedicate those seven days solely to research. But even after countless loops,
11:18the mystery of the tablets remained unsolved. Pola also had her own reasons for wanting answers.
11:24There was a painful moment from her past that she desperately wished to undo. But to go far enough
11:28back, they would first have to unlock the true potential of the tablets, something that remained
11:33out of reach no matter how many times they tried. Curious Pola once asked Soya if she had ever tried
11:39studying the tablets at university. Soya admitted that she had. She had done some research during
11:44her student days, but had stopped believing at the time that the tablets were a gift,
11:49something miraculous that shouldn't be questioned too much. She mentioned that her first notes might
11:54still be stored among her mother's old belongings in the nursing home. When another week came to an end,
11:59Soya took the tablets once more and returned to the beginning. This time, after convincing Pola again
12:05and explaining everything from the start, they went directly to the nursing home in search of her old
12:10university research. But instead of Soya's notes, they found the research journals of Mark,
12:15her ex-boyfriend from university. Confused and curious, Soya wondered how Mark's papers ended up
12:21with her mother's things. And more importantly, what was Mark now? While she stood there puzzled,
12:26a nurse gently approached her and said,
12:28Your husband, Donald, has been looking for you everywhere. He's very worried. At that moment,
12:34Soya remembered what she had been ignoring for so long. In every loop, her family searched for her,
12:40hoping to spend their last days together. They would prepare birthday surprises, plan peaceful outings,
12:46and wait for her with love and sadness, believing this week was the last. But each time,
12:52Soya slipped away to focus on the tablets, leaving them behind. Now, for the first time,
12:57Soya truly felt the weight of her choices. She realized that in trying to save herself,
13:03she had been hurting the people who loved her most over and over again in each repeated week.
13:09She turned to Pola, her voice filled with emotion, and said,
13:13I'm tired. I've lived the same week hundreds of times, locked in laboratories, running from death,
13:18running from my family. I don't want to do this anymore. I want to spend my time with them,
13:21not isolated, not chasing answers I may never find. But Paula, still clinging to hope,
13:28urged her not to give up. What if the key is Mark? He said, if we find him, maybe we'll finally
13:33understand what the tablets are and where they come from. Soya, let's try again. Soya asked Paula
13:38why she wanted so badly to go back to the past, and why she still hadn't tried one of the tablets.
13:44Paula explained that during her research, she discovered something important.
13:47The big hole in Soya's heart could be a side effect of using the tablets for so many years.
13:53Soya has been taking them for more than 40 years, and Paula believes that's what caused her heart
13:58condition. That's why she refuses to take the tablets without proper testing. And besides,
14:03going back only seven days isn't enough to help her. With a heavy heart, Paula shares her painful
14:09story. When she was just 15 years old, she secretly took a ride in her parents' car. A nail got stuck in
14:15one of the tires, but she was too afraid to tell her father. Later, her parents used the same car,
14:21and the tire blew out while they were driving. This caused a terrible accident. Paula is so desperate
14:26to uncover the truth behind the tablets that she wants to go back far enough in time to save her
14:31parents from that tragic accident. Hearing this, Soya realizes something important. She had only been
14:37thinking about saving herself. But Paula also has a deep and painful reason to want to travel back in
14:43time. Soya promises Paula that she will give everything for the research and help her find
14:48answers. She also says she'll track down her ex-boyfriend Mark, who might still have her old
14:53university research. But Soya's nose starts bleeding again, a sign that she's about to die. So once again,
15:00she takes a pill and restarts the week, going back seven days. This time, instead of meeting Paula first,
15:06Soya goes straight to her old professor. She tells him the truth, that she used to cheat in college by
15:12using the tablets to go back in time and memorize the exam questions. The professor is angry at first,
15:18but after hearing her honest apology, he forgives her. To Soya's surprise, the professor still has
15:24Mark's phone number and address. He gives her the information, and now Soya has a real lead to
15:29finally find Mark and uncover the truth behind the mysterious tablets. As Soya heads toward Mark's
15:35address, memories of their last encounter come rushing back. It had been years ago at a university
15:41reunion party held at the airport. Mark had become a well-known physicist, while Soya had drifted away
15:47from science. She never saw him again, mostly because she felt ashamed. Her perfect university
15:52grades hadn't been earned honestly. She had used time travel to cheat on her exams. That guilt kept
15:58her from approaching Mark. When she arrived at his home, she was greeted by Mark's son, who gave her the
16:03heartbreaking news that Mark had passed away. He had spent his entire life absorbed in his research,
16:09neglecting his health until it was too late. Soya felt a deep sadness for him. Still, she explained
16:15why she had come, and Mark's son understood and led her to Mark's old study. To her surprise,
16:20she saw not only his original research work, but also notes from Mark showing that he had also been
16:25working to solve the mystery of the tablets. Even after all these years, he hadn't forgotten her
16:30or the work they once shared. Mark's son quietly admitted something that hurt even more.
16:36My father worked day and night trying to make me proud, but I just wanted to spend time with him.
16:41Soya gently consoled him, realizing how familiar that pain was. Later, while reading through the
16:47research papers, Soya looked at her phone and saw a series of voicemails from her husband and daughter.
16:52They were crying, begging her to come home and spend her final days with them. In that moment,
16:57everything hit her. She had been doing the same thing as Mark, choosing work over the people who
17:02loved her. And now her body was weakening from the strain of so many time jumps.
17:07Just as her health began to fail again, Soya took another pill at the last possible second,
17:12jumping once more into the past to try again. This time, Soya knew exactly what she needed to do.
17:18She didn't run to the lab, didn't rush to solve the mystery. Instead, she went straight to her family
17:23and hugged them tightly for the first time in what felt like an eternity. She smiled with true joy on her
17:30way home, knowing that this time she wouldn't restart the clock. Soya spent every moment fully
17:35present, speaking kindly to everyone, laughing with them, and cherishing every second. She shared
17:42deep conversations with her husband, remembering the day they met and all the memories they had
17:47created together. She allowed herself to feel everything she was finally experiencing. She signed
17:53her will with peace in her heart, took a walk on the beach with her family, watching the waves come in
17:58for the last time. Then she took her mother to see the last remaining rhinoceros, knowing what fate
18:03awaited her at the end of the week, but also knowing how important it was to witness that moment together.
18:09On the seventh day, the day she knew she would die, Soya visited Pola. This time, Pola remembered
18:15nothing. They hadn't done any research in this loop, but it was okay. Soya handed Pola a folder with all
18:21her research and a bottle of time travel tablets. She looked at Pola and said,
18:26I finally understand. I spent so many loops trying to save myself, but in the end, it was never about
18:32me. It was about you. You are the one who must finish this. And she revealed what she had come
18:37to believe, that in the future, Pola would solve the mystery of the tablets, and that one day,
18:42it would be future Pola, who traveled through time and left the bottle for young Soya to find,
18:48thus completing the loop. With tears in her eyes, Soya smiled and said, now it's her turn. She went back
18:54home to celebrate her last birthday. Her family had prepared a small surprise for her, and her
18:59daughter gave her the happy news that she was pregnant, and that if it was a girl, she would
19:04name her after her mother, Soya. This time, Soya's heart was full. She didn't need to run. She didn't
19:10need to escape. She looked at her family with bright eyes and whispered goodbye. And finally, for the
19:15first time, Soya accepted her fate and let go with sweetness, thus ending this beautiful story.
19:22So I hope you enjoyed it very much.
