The main characters are guardian angels—benevolent, invisible beings in trench coats—who listen to the thoughts of mortals and attempt to comfort them. One of them, Damiel, wishes to become human after he falls in love with the beautiful trapeze artist Marion. Peter helps him during his transformation, by introducing him to life’s little pleasures. The film is narrated from the perspective of the angels, who see the world in black and white. Only when Damiel becomes human does the world of color reveal. He leaves behind his old friend Cassiel, who continues to be accompanied by Homer, the “storyteller of humanity.” WINGS OF DESIRE was Wenders’ first German film after eight years in the USA.

ರಕ್ಷಕ ದೈವವೇ ಇಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಮುಖ್ಯಪಾತ್ರ. ಉದ್ದ ನಿಲುವಂಗಿಯಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಉಪಕಾರ ಬುದ್ಧಿಯ ಅದೃಶ್ಯ ಜೀವಿಗಳು. ಅವರು ಮನುಷ್ಯರ ಮನದಾಳದ ಆಲೋಚನೆಗಳನ್ನು ಆಲಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ ಹಾಗೂ ಅವರನ್ನು ಸಾಂತ್ವನಗೊಳಿಸಲು ಯತ್ನಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಅಂತಹ ಡೇಮಿಯಲ್‌, ಸುಂದರಿ ಮಾರಿಯೋನಳನ್ನು ಕಂಡು ಅವಳ ಸೌಂದರ್ಯಕ್ಕೆ ಮರುಳಾಗಿ ಮನುಷ್ಯನಾಗಲು ಹಂಬಲಿಸುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಈ ರೂಪಾಂತರದ ಸಮಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಪೀಟರ್‌ ಡೇಮಿಯಲ್‌ಗೆ ಜೀವನದ ಸುಖ, ಸಂತೋಷಗಳ ಅರ್ಥವನ್ನು ಪರಿಚಯಿಸುತ್ತಾನೆ. ದೇವತೆಗಳ ದೃಷ್ಟಿಕೋನದಿಂದ ನಿರೂಪಣೆಯಾಗಿರುವ ಕತೆಯಲ್ಲಿ, ಅವರು ಜಗತ್ತನ್ನು ಕಪ್ಪು ಬಿಳುಪಾಗಿಯೇ ನೋಡುತ್ತಾರೆ ಎನ್ನುವುದನ್ನು ಮನಗಾಣಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಡೇಮಿಯಲ್‌ ಮಾನವನಾದಾಗ ಮಾತ್ರ ಪ್ರಪಂಚ ಬಣ್ಣಬಣ್ಣವಾಗಿ ತೆರೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತದೆ. ಎಂಟು ವರ್ಷಗಳ ಕಾಲ ಅಮೆರಿಕದಲ್ಲಿ ವಾಸಿಸಿದ ನಂತರ, ವೆಂಡರ್ಸ್ ವಿಂಗ್ಸ್ ಆಫ್ ಡಿಸೈರ್‌ನೊಂದಿಗೆ ಜರ್ಮನಿಗೆ ಮರಳಿದರು.
