When Damiel falls in love with lonely trapeze artist Marion, the angel longs to experience life in the physical world, and finds — with some words of wisdom from actor Peter Falk — that it might be possible for him to take human form.

About Wings of Desire
In the heart of Berlin, two angels, Damiel and Cassiel, silently traverse the city, observing the lives of mortals. They offer solace to the distressed, witnessing the spectrum of human emotions without direct interaction. Damiel, however, finds himself captivated by Marion, a solitary and enchanting trapeze artist. Consumed by a longing to experience the tangible world, he yearns to feel the warmth of the sun, the taste of food, the touch of another. His desire intensifies, fueled by a growing love for Marion. Guidance comes in an unexpected form: Peter Falk, an actor and former angel, shares his own experience of shedding his angelic form. He reveals the path towards embracing humanity, offering Damiel hope that he too can relinquish his immortality and immerse himself in the richness and complexity of human existence, all for the chance to connect with Marion.

How to stream with ExpressVPN
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is an app that encrypts your internet connection and masks your IP address, allowing you to stream securely and bypass restrictions.
Why Use a VPN for Streaming?

- Increase Privacy: A VPN protects your data on non-secure public Wi-Fi networks by creating an encrypted tunnel, safeguarding your personal information while you stream.
