Skywalkers: A Love Story
What will they risk to touch the sky?
Synopsis
"Skywalkers: A Love Story" (2024) is a Netflix documentary directed by Jeff Zimbalist — watch it online on iFILM. Angela Nikolau and Ivan Beerkus are real-life partners and rooftoppers who set out to illegally scale Merdeka 118 in Kuala Lumpur — 678 meters, the world's second-tallest building — to execute a handstand on the antenna at the very top.
Zimbalist spent years with the couple before filming. Angela grew up in Russia and built her name crossing rooftops across Asia and Europe; Ivan is her equal in nerve and the person she trusts most under pressure. The film tracks their preparation, the relationship straining against the stakes, and the climb itself — with nothing softened.
What lifts it above a stunt film is that neither subject plays to the camera. The intimacy was earned long before the lens arrived. Stream "Skywalkers: A Love Story" (2024) online on iFILM.
