About Wings of Desire
Set in the 1980s before the fall of the Berlin Wall, the film follows Bruno Ganz’s weary angel Daniel, who moves invisible through the city, listening to its inhabitants’ innermost thoughts and desires. However, when he falls in love with lonely trapeze artist Marion (Solveig Donmartin), he begins to contemplate a gesture of love that will transform his whole existence.
