Wings of Desire

Directed by Wim Wenders

Following the Prime Minister’s announcement of a further lockdown in England, HOME will close temporarily from Thu 5 Nov 2020.  We will be contacting ticketholders affected by the new rules this week. Please bear with us as our phonelines will be busier than usual. We will also post updates on our social media channels and website. Thanks for your patience.

In Wings of Desire, director Wim Wenders’ most metaphysical work, a guardian angel desires nothing more than to be human.

Every day, Dammiel listens to the thoughts of mortals who play their lives out on the streets of West Berlin. He finds himself entranced by a trapeze artist whose eloquent expression of her doubts and fears makes him yearn for a life where he can feel happiness and love.

Please note: no ads or trailers will be shown before this screening.
