Today few people in town other than Jack King, the local mortician, even know that an execution has occurred until they read about it the next day, buried on an inside page of the Huntsville Item.

Here Cassiel, the second angel, follows Damiel's lead and becomes human, a brand-new Candide. But Wenders actually has a new idea, courtesy of recent history. In Wings of Desire, two angels hovered over divided Berlin, invisibly consoling its citizens. In the sequel, written by Wenders, Ulrich Zieger and Richard Reitinger, angels patrol a Berlin that is politically united but even more fractious -- a city of gangsters...
