| Sypnosis | Two angels, Daniel and Cassiel, come down from heaven in Berlin. They can mix with humans without being seen… They meet a former angel become human, who feels their presence and passes on his faith in humanity to them. One day Daniel finds his way in a circus and meets highwire artist Marion — a life-changing encounter, since he falls for her… A film about desire and about Berlin, a ‘historic place of truth’. |
