Synopsis

She is trapped in a time loop that keeps repeating, trying to save her boyfriend within five minutes: the spinning top, the resetting scenes, memory and dream intertwined. It turns out the "loop" is a fantasy she uses to escape reality. Behind it is her guilt over her boyfriend's death, which has trapped her in a loop of self-punishment as she tries to make up for her regret through "repeated events". With her friends' help, can she let go of her obsession and escape the loop? Once she sees the truth, what will she choose? To stay in the dream and be reunited with her boyfriend, or to accept reality and face the pain? Trauma and redemption, reality and illusion, letting go and reconciliation: in the endlessly repeating five minutes, the answer is about to be revealed.
