Penthouse residents open up their homes to reveal their thoughts on social inequality, politics, and the world that surrounds them, as well as discussing more intimate subjects such as their desires, fears, insecurities, prejudices and personal histories. High-rise is a film about height, status and power that questions the elite in a way that has never been done before in Brazilian cinema.
