Moscow couple Angela Nikolau and Ivan Beerkus have nurtured a reputation for scaling some of the world's tallest buildings. This feature-length documentary follows the couple as they attempt to break into and scale the world's second tallest skyscraper, the Merdeka 118 Kuala Lumpur.
A warning to those scared of heights: this may destroy you. Russian “rooftoppers” Angela Nikolau and Ivan Beerkus travel the world to scale mankind’s biggest structures, usually illegally. They scurry up staircases, cranes and antennae and make tricksy poses, risking jail or death for an Instagram shot or €500 from a sponsor.
Filmed over six years, this true-life thriller offers some smaller, more personal moments of reflection, but it’s the staggering climbing scenes that stick.
