High above Berlin, unseen angels drift through the city, listening to the private thoughts of the living and offering silent comfort to the lonely and despairing. One of them, weary of eternity without sensation, becomes captivated by a mortal trapeze artist and longs to trade immortality for the fragile intensity of human life. Lyrical, haunting, and unexpectedly tender, Wings of Desire is a meditation on love, memory, and what it truly means to be alive.
