High Rise People

High Rise People presents the lives of the oddball residents of a high-rise apartment block through the eyes of 12-year-old Vigga, who lives there with her family. Vigga and her autistic little brother Óli examine a range of adult situations, from the unique and comical vantage point of a child on the verge of adulthood.
