Der Himmel über Berlin (1987)

Two angels watch over Berlin. Damiel (Bruno Ganz) and Cassiel (Otto Sander) are silent observers, accompanying people through the city's rooftops and streets. They hear their thoughts and feelings, without being able to feel them themselves. Ever since Damiel fell in love with the trapeze artist Marion (Solveig Dommartin), he struggles with his fate. He would love to become human. To do this, he would have to become mortal, with all the consequences. A former angel (Peter Falk) advises him to take the plunge into life.
