Action, Drama, Fantasy, Romance
Peter Falk, Nick Cave, Bruno Ganz, Jürgen Heinrich
Eternal, invisible, and ever-watchful, two silent and compassionate angelic guardians, Damiel and Cassiel, turn their attention to the needy and the lonely of this world, soaring effortlessly over wall-divided Berlin's overcast skies. Then, unexpectedly, Damiel falls in love with Marion, a hauntingly beautiful trapeze artist. Now Damiel is ready to trade his sacred wings for the love of a mortal. And for the first time in his eternal existence, the celestial being begins to realise the insufferable burden of forever--a stranger in a physical world overflowing with emotions. But what is it like to touch, breathe, and live? Is a short yet eventful life on Earth better than a solitary existence in the sky?—Nick Riganas
