Join Southend CineScene for a screening of Wim Wenders’ Wings of Desire (1987), a poetic meditation on love, longing, and the human experience. Set in a divided Berlin, invisible angels observe the lives of its inhabitants, witnessing joy, sorrow, and fleeting moments of connection.

Celebrated for its stunning black-and-white cinematography, hypnotic score, and Bruno Ganz’s unforgettable performance, this classic is not to be missed.
