High Life

• Science Fiction
• Drama
• Mystery

In the claustrophobic confines of a derelict spaceship hurtling towards a black hole, a hardened criminal and his quietly observant daughter navigate a brutal, meticulously crafted existence. This isn’t a traditional space opera focused on galactic conflict, but a deeply unsettling psychological drama examining the raw, primal instincts of survival and the fragile bonds of parenthood under unimaginable duress. The film deliberately eschews easy answers, presenting a stark, ambiguous portrait of a man confronting the consequences of his past while attempting to instill humanity—and a sense of normalcy—in a child born into a desperate, scientifically-engineered future. A haunting exploration of reproduction, punishment, and the search for meaning in a godless void, *High Life* evokes a sense of profound isolation and the disturbing beauty of a desperate, improvised life.
