WINGS OF DESIRE

"There are angels on the streets of Berlin."

19872h 8m7.8 TMDb

Directed by Wim Wenders

Spoiler-Free

Two angels, Damiel and Cassiel, glide through the streets of Berlin, observing the bustling population, providing invisible rays of hope to the distressed but never interacting with them. When Damiel falls in love with lonely trapeze artist Marion, the angel longs to experience life in the physical world, and finds — with some words of wisdom from actor Peter Falk — that it might be possible for him to take human form.
