Angels

Synopsis

The film focuses on a few intimate family destinies from various social categories: a recently widowed young doctor; a school canteen cook and her son; a driving instructor and his wife, a Czech language teacher; and their closest relatives. Not everyone in this story dies, but they all have to cope with loss and mortality.. "Angels" pinpoints and describes the important details that make up a life, moments that can be just as humdrum as fatal, little things that change the course of life.
