Floating Skyscrapers follows the life of a young man, who seems to have his whole life planned for him. When he discovers a passion for another man he is forced to re-evaluate his past and present relationships and face the social taboo of his sports-oriented environment. Wasilewski creates an emotional image about what it means to finally grow up. The cast includes Mateusz Banasiuk, Katarzyna Herman, Bartosz Gelner, Marta Nieradkiewicz, Olga Frycz, Izabela Kuna and Mirosław Zbrojewicz. The director of photography is Jakub Kijowski, and the music score is composed by Leszek Możdżer.
Wasilewski was the second unit director for 33 Scenes from Life by Małgorzata Szumowska (Pandora Film). He made his debut with the highly praised drama In the Bedroom starring Katarzyna Herman, where he also explored the issues of forming relationships and looking for one's identity.
"The characters in Floating Skyscrapers are not only the young people, but also another generation - their parents. Each of them is a separate individual battling for himself and learning how to live with another human being, despite the fears and social inhibitions," the director told FNE.
The film was produced by Alter Ego Pictures with a budget of 1.5 million PLN (367,000 EUR). The company will also distribute the picture. The Polish premiere is set for 18 August 2013. The international sales are managed by Films Boutique.
