Synopsis

On a journey high up, we view the world through the eyes of crane drivers. What is the psychological impact on these people, removed from the world they are building? A mesmerizing insight into a world unnoticed by most, yet fundamental to us. A visual and poetic celebration of life, the film captures the human spirit in extreme conditions.
