A daredevil couple risks it all by going where no one has gone before: the top of the world's second-highest skyscraper. Angela and Vanya are Russia's preeminent rooftoppers who defy the odds (and death) to scale the globe's tallest buildings. As their acrobatic stunts go viral and rack up millions of online views, they put their love and trust to the test as they create a highly dangerous new artform that they call "skywalking."

"Skywalkers: A Love Story" follows Angela and Vanya, Russia's top rooftoppers, as they brave the world's second-highest skyscraper. Their breathtaking stunts, which mesmerize millions online, test their love and trust, crafting a dangerous new art form called "skywalking." However, the film's hyper-stylized, almost scripted feel detracts from its authenticity, making it resemble an extravagant commercial. While the visual feats astound, the lack of rawness makes the film seem more like an ad for something extreme rather than a genuine love story. Despite this, "Skywalkers" offers a visually thrilling, albeit commercialized, ride that highlights the passion and peril of rooftop stunts.
