Synopsis

The film is a documentary on the construction of a skyscraper, narrated by the project's architect, crane operator, and various specialists. It details the process from planning to completion, emphasizing the efficient use of limited urban space by building upward. Key phases include laying deep foundations, constructing a massive steel frame, and installing interior and exterior elements. The building, featuring high-speed elevators, escalators, stores, and restaurants, functions as a self-contained urban hub. The project, culminating in a "topping out" ceremony, symbolizes the collaborative effort of hundreds over two years, resulting in an 82-story building that significantly contributes to city life.

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
