Salwa

Salwa plays “older” lyra (age range 16-17). She plays Lyra as someone who has already lived this moment before. There is a quiet hesitation in the way she looks at familiar places, as if she’s measuring them against something that no longer exists. Lyra carries her memories carefully, not because they are fragile, but because she knows how easily they can change. She has learned that going back doesn’t mean returning; it just means seeing things as they are now.

Jude

Jude plays the “younger” version of Lyra (age range 8-10) A version of the world where everything still feels possible. Her memories are being made in real time, unfiltered and uncorrected. She doesn’t yet recognise the weight of the moments she’s living through, or how often she will return to them later. For her, nothing is a loop yet; only a beginning she doesn’t realise she’s inside.

FAQ

The Loops We Live In is a short film and digital experience that explores memory, nostalgia, and the quiet weight of returning to something you thought you had left behind. It isn’t structured to be followed in a straight line. Instead, it invites you to sit with repetition, to notice what changes, and what refuses to. The story exists somewhere between what happened and what is remembered.

Not exactly. The film isn’t a direct retelling of a single event, but it draws from experiences that feel familiar; moments of reconnection, hesitation, and the strange distance between past and present selves. It’s less about what is factually true, and more about what feels true when you revisit something that once mattered.

Because that’s how memory works. We return to the same moments, the same conversations, the same feelings, trying to understand them differently each time. The repetition isn’t there to trap you. It’s there to show how perspective shifts, even when the situation doesn’t.

No. Some parts are meant to remain unclear. The film and website are designed to be experienced rather than solved. If something doesn’t fully make sense, that’s intentional, because not everything we go back to gives us clarity.

Nostalgia often carries both. There is comfort in familiarity, but also discomfort in realising that things have changed; or that you have. The project sits in that tension, where something can feel warm and distant at the same time.

There’s no single takeaway. If anything, it’s an invitation to reflect on the loops in your own life; the moments you return to, the people you remember differently over time, and the feeling of standing in the same place as before, but not being the same person anymore.

Because not everything gets finished. Some conversations don’t happen, some thoughts are never spoken, and some moments end before they feel resolved. The gaps are part of the experience, not something to be filled.

No. You can move through it in any order, return to pages, skip sections, or stay in one place. The experience is intentionally non-linear. What you notice, and what stays with you, will likely be different each time.
