Wealthy residents live on the top floors, and poorer residents live below. With amenities including a pool, gym, spa, supermarket, and primary school, the occupants have little reason to leave the building beyond working hours and become increasingly isolated from the outside world.Laing, who moves onto the 25th floor after his sister dies, begins a sexual relationship with single mother Charlotte Melville and becomes a fatherly figure to her son, Toby. Laing also befriends documentary filmmaker Richard Wilder and his pregnant wife Helen, who live in a low-level apartment with their children.High-Rise 2015 Full Movie Download
