Here is the rephrased section:

As the spaceship hurtles through the vast expanse of space at a blistering 99% of the speed of light, its crew of condemned prisoners has been living under the constant hum of acceleration for three long years. The massive vessel's interior is a marvel of functionality, boasting lush gardens, communal living quarters, and cutting-edge facilities designed to sustain life in the harsh environment of space. The ship's occupants, a motley assortment of individuals serving death sentences, have grown accustomed to their unique circumstances.

Dr. Dibs (Juliette Binoche), a woman with a troubled past, has been obsessed with the prospect of creating new life through artificial insemination. Her fixation on this endeavor drives her to manipulate the male prisoners, coercing them into making "donations" in exchange for small rewards. The odds are stacked against her, as radiation exposure poses a significant threat to any potential offspring.

The ship's inhabitants have also found solace in a device known as "The Box," which has become an addictive means of self-pleasure. Meanwhile, Dr. Dibs takes a particular interest in Monte (Robert Pattinson), the only celibate prisoner on board, who has rejected her advances. Her fascination with Monte stems from his exceptional genetic makeup, which she believes would make him resilient to the effects of long-term radiation exposure.

Monte's own story is one of tragedy, having been imprisoned for a childhood crime that resulted in the loss of his friend and cherished pet dog. His sole confidant on the ship is Tcherny (André Benjamin), who finds solace in the garden, reminiscent of the Earthly paradise they left behind.

As the crew approaches their destination after four years of travel, the ship begins its deceleration procedures. The mission's objective was to harness the rotational energy of a black hole, providing humanity with boundless resources. However, the journey has taken a toll on Captain Chandra (Lars Eidinger), who develops leukemia and suffers a stroke before his untimely passing at the hands of Dr. Dibs.

In her capacity as captain, Dr. Dibs assumes operational authority over the ship, using Captain Chandra's blood to file daily check-in reports. The absence of these reports would trigger the ship's computer to conclude that there is no life on board, prompting it to shut down the life support system in a desperate bid to conserve power.

Tragedy strikes when pregnant prisoner Elektra (Gloria Obianyo) and her newborn infant succumb to lethal doses of space radiation, leaving the remaining crew members to confront the harsh realities of their existence.

As the dark veil of night shrouds the desolate landscape, Ettore (Ewan Mitchell) unleashes a brutal assault on Boyse (Mia Goth), only to be brutally interrupted by her anguished screams. Monte's swift intervention rescues Boyse from Ettore's clutches, but not before exacting a merciless revenge that leaves Ettore writhing in agony. Mink (Claire Tran) then takes matters into her own hands, administering a fatal blow to the still-tormented Ettore.

In the aftermath of this violence, Dibs begins doubling down on the sedatives doled out to each prisoner, a move that sets the stage for Boyse's subsequent descent into depravity. She secretly infiltrates Monte's cell while he's under the influence, committing a grotesque act of sexual assault before injecting his semen into her own womb. As the ship hurtles toward its ultimate destination – the event horizon of a black hole – the pilot, Nansen (Agata Buzek), readies herself for a perilous journey into the void.

Little does Monte realize, however, that Boyse has already exacted a twisted revenge by murdering Nansen with a shovel and assuming her role. The shuttle's passage through the molecular cloud within the black hole ultimately proves to be Boyse's downfall, as the intense forces of spaghettification reduce her to a mere smoldering ember.

In the aftermath of this catastrophic event, Monte is left to grapple with the consequences of his own actions. He dispatches Mink after she attacks Dibs, but not before learning that the child – whom he's named Willow – is, in fact, his own offspring. A gravely injured Dibs imparts this revelation to Monte before ejecting herself into the void.

As the ship drifts through the emptiness of space, Monte struggles to raise Willow, finding solace in her cries and eventual growth. He attempts to repair the ship's damaged systems, but is ultimately forced to dispose of the cryogenically preserved bodies of his fellow crew members – a grim reminder of the desolate reality that now surrounds him.

When communication with Earth finally crackles back to life after a century-long silence, Monte finds himself confronting an existential crisis. Willow has grown into a teenager, forcing Monte to confront the emotional minefield of puberty without any guidance or support. The arrival of another ship, crewed by stray dogs who've survived by devouring each other, serves only to underscore the bleakness of their situation.

In the end, it's Monte's decision not to retrieve one of these canine survivors that proves the most telling – a choice driven by his desperate desire to protect Willow from any potential contamination that could spell their doom.

As the spaceship hurtles towards the abyssal void of the black hole, Willow's indomitable spirit prompts Monte to embark on a perilous expedition in a shuttlecraft. As they venture deeper into the heart of darkness, the ship's proximity to the event horizon triggers an intense sense of anticipation and trepidation. With the eerie silence of space broken only by the faint hum of their vessel's engines, Willow and Monte find themselves at the threshold of a mystifying phenomenon - a radiant yellow glow that seems to pulse with an otherworldly energy. As they draw closer to this enigmatic light source, Monte's grip on Willow's hand becomes a symbol of the unbreakable bond between them, forged in the face of uncertainty and the infinite unknown.
