Deep space: Monte (Robert Pattinson) and his daughter Willow live together aboard a spacecraft, in complete isolation. A man whose strict self-discipline is a shield against desire, Monte fathered her against his will as part of a scientific experiment. Out of all the former passengers of the spaceship (amongst others Juliette Binoche as a strange professor and André 3000 as an intergalactic gardener), at last only Monte and Willow remain. Through his daughter, he experiences the birth of an all-powerful love. Together, father and daughter approach their destination – the black hole in which time and space cease to exist.

The black hole was designed by Denis in cooperation with artist Olafur Eliasson and his light installation Contact (2014).
