Based in
part on Wim Wenders's 1988 film,
WINGS OF DESIRE, this is the
story of Seth (Nicolas Cage), an
angel who wanders the Los
Angeles area invisible to humans.
As someone's death approaches,
he spends
time near that person and
becomes visible while acting as
traveling companion during the
trip to the great hereafter. His
discovery of a distraught heart
surgeon, Maggie (Meg Ryan),
inspires him to forego his
immortality and exist on earth
with her as a feeling and mortal
entity. |
