The documentary feature film Um Lugar ao Sol (High-Rise) by Gabriel Mascaro explores the social and cultural mindset of the Brazilian elite through dialogues with the owners of nine penthouses in Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and Recife. Permeating the films interviews, a poetic visual and sound narrative provides an evocative insight into the verticalization of the Brazilian cityscape. This is a film about height, status and power and questions the dominante classes in a way that has never been done before in Brazilian cinema.
