Ettore

Ettore, the character in “High Life,” is a complex individual who faces a series of psychological and emotional dilemmas throughout the film. His personality is characterized by a mix of resilience and despair. Isolated in space, Ettore becomes a symbol of the human struggle for survival and the search for meaning in adverse circumstances.

From a psychological point of view, Ettore shows signs of distress and trauma, probably related to his past and his current situation. As the story progresses, his character reveals deep longings for connection and understanding, contrasted with his introverted nature and his tendency to self-definition in a hostile environment.

His relationships with other characters also reflect his internal conflict. He often feels caught between the desire to form bonds and the fear of intimacy, leading him to behaviors that both reject and seek connection. This tug-of-war between isolation and the need for companionship deepens his character and enriches the film's narrative.
