Wings of Desire

"There are angels on the streets of Berlin."

Two angels glide through the streets of Berlin, observing the bustling population, providing invisible rays of hope to the distressed, but never interacting with them. When one falls in love with lonely trapeze artist, the angel longs to experience life in the physical world and finds that it might be possible for him to take human form.
