Plot

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.
