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.

What am I allowed to do with the bought film?
Please, make sure that you have a Bittorrent client installed to be able to download films from our site. What this is and where you can get it, you will find out on the right of the next page when you click on the "buy film" button.

You will need a Paypal account to buy a film. If you do not already have one, you can open one here http://www.paypal.com

The technical quality of the downloaded film is better than the quality of the preview. It will not be as good as a DVD because of the level of compression that we must use to make the film down loadable for you in a acceptable timespan. It will usually be 1 Minute download for 1 minute of film with an average DSL connection on your site. You can watch the film only when it has been downloaded completely. Please let your computer do this job in the background while you are working on something else.
