Short description
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.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Nastassja Kinski had previously worked with Wenders twice – in “Wrong Move” (1975) and “Paris, Texas” (1984).
  • Yella Rottländer appeared in one of the episodes. Before this, she hadn't been in a film since the 1970s (as a child), including playing the lead role in Wenders’ early film “Alice in the Cities” (1974). At that time, her co-star was Rüdiger Vogler as Philipp Winter. In “Faraway, So Close!”, she plays the angel of a character also named Philipp Winter, again played by Rüdiger Vogler.
