Floating Skyscrapers is a modern and universal story about growing up, looking for your own identity, and accepting yourself and others. This film is virtually boiling with emotions. It touches a subject that removes a taboo and stirs up controversies.

Kuba lives with his mother and a girlfriend, Sylwia. His life seems to be simple and sorted out. He lives with a girlfriend he loves, studies at the Józef Piłsudski University of Physical Education in Warsaw, where practices swimming. He is one of the most promising competitors and main favourites to participate in the coming competition. Apart from that he has a normal life, just as all of his peers. Being at a party, he meets Michał. Both men develop a strong bond and Kuba is surprised to discover his homosexual nature. He is terrified of the feelings that have awakened inside him and cannot adapt to the new situation. His relationship with Sylwia, which seemed permanent and strong, now becomes much complicated...
