About Lost (Amongst the Lost)

Set in West Berlin in the late 1980s, toward the end of the Cold War, Himmel Uber Berlin follows two angels, Damiel (Bruno Ganz) and Cassiel (Otto Sander), as they roam the city, unseen and unheard by the people, observing and listening to the diverse thoughts of Berliners: a pregnant woman, a painter, a broken man who thinks his girlfriend no longer loves him......

Their raison d'être is not that of the stereotypical angel, but as Cassiel says, to "assemble, testify, preserve" reality .

In addition to the story of two angels, the film also is a meditation on Berlin's past, present, and future. Damiel and Cassiel have always existed as angels; they existed in Berlin before it was a city, and in fact before there were even any humans.
