After a major transgression, angels Cassiel and Damiel are condemned
to life on Earth. They’re sent to Berlin where they can only be seen
by children. When Damiel falls in love with Marion, a beautiful
trapeze artist, he’s determined to become human and pursue his
interests. The only way to break into the physical world, Damiel
learns, is by experiencing humanity in its entirety. Wim Wender’s
1987 German drama Wings of Desire is a critically-acclaimed film that
explores how love is what makes us human. Catch it this month at
Cinema Akil, Alserkal Avenue’s resident art house theatre.
