Raising by Height

A middle-aged man takes on the role of an industrial climber for the first time in his life and finds himself at a great height. Panic, an unreliable rope and frantic tenants will try to disrupt his mental and physical functioning, but the main target is a large inscription on the wall of a building that must be painted over at all costs.

Directed by Anton Chystiakov, Roman Krasnoschok, Raising by Height leans on a strong ensemble — Ihor Aronov, Bohdan Verbovets — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about adventure titles of 2023.
