A metaphysical meditation on divine observation and human connection, set against a fractured post-reunification Berlin where angels grapple with the desire to intervene in mortal suffering.

A group of angels look longingly upon the life of humans. Berlin now is a very different place: unified in name but overrun with crime, corruption, and—in what turns out to be a key theme here—Americans.
