All the wonderful things of living, even things like a fever and black fingers from reading the newspaper, are things that Damiel wants to experience. But, he wishes that he could live day by day, be greeted by strangers, and be able to say now, instead of eternity, to do things in pretense. He says how wonderful it is to live for eternity and to hear people's spiritual thoughts. Damiel tells his works of the day to Cassiel. As Cassiel speaks, Damiel focuses on a couple embracing each other on the sidewalk. They discuss their log books for the day. Damiel sits in a car with Cassiel (Otto Sander). Then, we hear the thoughts of the people in the cars around the ambulance. Then we see the pregnant woman inside the ambulance. First, we fly once more over the city, listening to an ambulance.
We follow Damiel around his daily routine. This time he is wondering what children think about. Again, Damiel starts to think, When the child was a child. Many of the things we hear are typical thoughts, or people's problems. The camera pans into an apartment, and we hear various people's thoughts. We hear various radio stations as we see the radio tower over Berlin. A shot of Berlin is shown from the airplane's view. Peter talks to himself about the writer's block he is having over his script. Then, he focuses on Peter Falk (as himself). Damiel is on an airplane, passing through the aisle. We hear the thoughts of a woman on a bicycle. While we see this, Damiel speaks about wanting to see color and feel alive. There is a quick shot of a flapping wing, and then we see one man walking with a baby. He can hear the people below, but only the children can see him. He has wings, but they disappear only a few seconds into the scene. Damiel is looking over the city from atop a large statue. It fades to a scene of the sky, then a close-up of a human eye, then a bird's eye view of Berlin.

He goes through a series of statements about when children were children: what they thought, how they acted, etc. Damiel (Bruno Ganz) is writing on a paper, When the child was a child. There is much poetic language used in this film that simply cannot be properly conveyed. Therefore, when the shot is from the angels' point of view, the shot is black and white, and when the shot is from a human point of view, it is in color.
His thoughts are largely because he has fallen in love with Marion, the trapeze artist with the circus.

He embarks on this thought with the full realization that there is no turning back if he decides to do so. One day, Damiel tells Cassiel that he wants to become human, to feel not only the sensory aspects of physical beings, but also emotional aspects.

Among those they are currently observing are: the cast and crew of a movie - a detective story set in WWII Nazi Germany - which include a sensitive and perceptive Peter Falk an elderly man named Homer looking for eternal peace and the troupe of a financially failing circus, which has closed early for the season because of those financial problems. Along with several other angels, they currently wander around West Berlin, generally on their own, observing and preserving life, sometimes trying to provide comfort to the troubled, although those efforts are not always successful. Visible only to those like them and to human children, Damiel and Cassiel are two angels, who have existed even before humankind. An angel tires of his purely ethereal life of merely overseeing the human activity of Berlin's residents, and longs for the tangible joys of physical existence when he falls in love with a mortal.
