Angels, listening. A black-and-white love letter to attention itself.

Wim Wenders sends invisible angels drifting through divided Berlin, listening to the quiet despair of strangers. Shot in luminous black and white that bursts into colour only when someone truly sees, it is a film about attention as a form of love. If Perfect Days left you wanting more of Wenders' gentle gaze, start here. Watch it slowly, and let the city do the talking.
