Synopsis
- Protagonist of this documentary film, has a courageous dream that has become a reality - climbing the roofs.
He is not a sleepwalker. He is not a reckless adventurer. Or a madman. Or a bird - a man with wings. There are things he may lose. He has a big family - sons, a wife, dogs, a house, a job. But Eriks Rugens, the protagonist of this documentary film, has a courageous dream that has become a reality.
He has managed to overcome the natural human fear of height. He can climb the roofs. It is his hobby and work to be closer to the sky, on the spires of churches, on top of the high-rises. From where he looks at the daily and street life with different eyes.
He has a peculiar sense of humour, he seems an odd fish to many. Studio EHO FILMA brings a story about the man who lives by his free will therefore sometimes is not a convenient person to others, yet loyal to his calling. Which is to be up there. To be higher.
