Monte (Robert Pattinson) is one of several death row inmates given the opportunity to forgo their sentence in exchange for manning a suicide space mission to harvest energy from near a black hole. The ship's doctor (Juliette Binoche) is also conducting an experiment of her own, obsessively testing human's ability to reproduce in space. The ragtag crew's close quarters and grim fate breed dissent and ultimately brutal violence. Directed by Claire Denis. Mia Goth and Andre Benjamin co-star.
