Overview

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.

Rated PG-13 | Length 128 minutes

Viewing Notes

Tonia and I saw this at the Music Box way back when. Great to revisit it. Really sad to discover that Solveig Dommartin who played Marion the trapeze artist passed away in 2007.
