Skypeople are the NYC elite who live longer... if they're above the 13th floor.

Synopsis

Scientists discover that the farther you are from earth, the slower time passes and therefore, the longer you'll live. A surreal satire on class in New York City, the film follows 21 different characters' race to be a "sky-person" - the elite one percent who live above the 13th floor.
