In the beginning their relationship is not the best, but with the time Willow grows up, Mont changes his mind and will have a new feeling about her daughter. A feeling that will change him forever.

Trivia
Original idea
The original idea of 'High Life' comes from 'Trouble Every Day', while filming with filmmaker and actor Vincent Gallo. She said: "You're such a pain in the ass that I'm going to make a movie where you'll be alone in space."
Language
It's the first film of Claire Denis in english, because according to her, she couldn't imagine someone in space talking in another language different to english or russian.
Premiere at Toronto
The world premiere at Toronto Film Festival has caused multiple walkouts because of how graphically disturbing and provocative the film was. Despite the audience reaction, the film was well received by the critic.
