Overview

Damiel is now married to Marion, runs the pizzeria “Da Angelo” and the two have a child. The solitarily remaining angel Cassiel is more and more dissatisfied with his destiny as a mere observer of human life and finally decides to take the great leap. As Karl Engel he soon gets into a dubious milieu and finds himself as the assistant of the German American Baker, who makes his money with shady arms deals and sends films east in exchange for weapons. Cassiel’s adventure turns into a “thriller” when he decides to put a stop to Baker’s game.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A meditation on what it means to abandon heavenly detachment for messy human life, told through an angel's disillusionment and descent into moral compromise. It's a spiritual thriller that asks whether knowing better is worth the cost of living fully.
