Summary

Two angels drift invisibly through divided Berlin, listening to the private thoughts of its inhabitants and recording fragments of human experience. When one of them grows weary of eternal observation and falls in love with a lonely trapeze artist, he begins to contemplate trading immortality for the messy, sensory weight of being human.
