Hold on tight for the adrenaline-fueled romance of Russian rooftoppers Angela Nikolau and Ivan Beerkus as they embark on a daring quest to climb the world’s latest super skyscraper, risking life and limb to save both their careers and their relationship. As they scale dizzying heights and evade security measures, the duo’s heart-pounding journey unfolds against the backdrop of breathtaking cityscapes. With every perilous ascent, they push the boundaries of trust and love, capturing their vertigo-inducing feats on camera for the world to see. Though perhaps not our tip-top recommendation for viewers with any phobia of heights, this spellbinding film, which premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, does make the courageous bond between two gravity-defiant daredevils feel like a thrill worth seeking.
