A young man lives at home with his girlfriend and mother. He is a swimmer, one of the best on his team. An encounter with another man at a party awakens unexpected emotions in him; he is terrified and fascinated at the same time. Płynące wieżowce is one of the first films from Poland dealing with LGBT issues. Tight shots, claustrophobic flats, oppressive landscapes of floating skyscrapers reflect the feeling of a daily fight for the right to be oneself, pursue happiness and freedom. Płynące wieżowce is definitely an auteur film – this is Wasilewski’s Warsaw, his music and people he knows. (Magdalena Sztorc, Katalog IFF Wrocław 2013)
