Wings of Desire is a poignant film that captivates with its exploration of love and existence. Follow the journey of two angels, Damiel and Cassiel, as they silently glide through the streets of Berlin, offering comfort to those in distress while remaining invisible and detached from the human world. When Damiel, portrayed by Bruno Ganz, falls in love with the lonely trapeze artist Marion (Solveig Dommartin), he yearns to experience the joys and pains of humanity. Inspired by the wisdom of actor Peter Falk, who appears as himself, Damiel must decide whether to give up his immortality for the chance to embrace life. Experience this visually stunning and emotionally resonant masterpiece under the stars!
