The daring duo of Angela Nikolau and Ivan “Vanya” Beerkus have made a name for themselves by illegally climbing some of the tallest buildings in the world, capturing their heart-stopping adventures on camera. Despite the risks involved, they prefer to see themselves as artists rather than adrenaline junkies. The documentary “Skywalkers: A Love Story” follows their journey, culminating in their illegal ascent of Malaysia’s Merdeka 118, the second tallest building globally. Angela’s background in aerial acrobatics and Vanya’s love for rooftop climbing are highlighted, shedding light on their motivations for undertaking such dangerous feats. The allure of fame, attention, and financial gain seems to outweigh the potential dangers they face, making their rooftop escapades a risky yet rewarding pursuit.
The film commences with a brief look at the duo facing a significant obstacle while attempting to enter Merdeka's towering spiral, then transitions to news clips and voice-overs introducing the main characters of "Skywalkers: A Love Story." Angela Nikolau's parents were circus performers, so Angela was always captivated by aerial acrobatics and has been a gymnast since childhood. However, Vanya's background remains undisclosed in the documentary, except that he is a solitary individual who enjoys the excitement of climbing rooftops. Why do they take risks of arrest, injuries, and even potential death? Because the rewards and thrill are far more enticing than any ordinary job they could pursue. Additionally, Angela openly admits to craving applause, attention, fame, and desiring her legacy to endure even after her passing. "Ascending to new heights, engaging in illegal building climbs. Scaling cranes dangerously. It's known as rooftopping. Angela and her partner Vanya Beerkus are the newest social media sensation. A breathtaking sky-high performance has transformed Angela and Vanya into daring royalty," states one of the news clips in the documentary about the pair. "Skywalkers: A Love Story" is a visually stunning spectacle for a documentary about a fearless couple, featuring numerous breathtaking drone shots of Angela and Vanya ascending to heights that may give some viewers chills. Director Jeff Zimbalist and his team select compelling background music to enhance the "rooftopping" sequences. Nevertheless, there is a noticeable artificiality in the storytelling, particularly because both individuals are constantly performing for the camera, consistently filming themselves, fully aware of what will attract more "followers" or "likes" on social media.
