God's Angels are Everywhere was originally released as Gottess Engel Sind Uberall. Just before the end of WWII, a soldier returns to his hometown of Vienna. Here he meets his spiritual alter ego, a young war refugee searching for his mother. Forming a strong alliance, the soldier and the boy find they have a lot more in common than they ever imagined. As indicated by the title, the film's denouement is largely shaped by divine intervention (or at least that's what the audience is supposed to conclude). God's Angels are Everywhere possesses an indefinable appeal that reached far beyond its target Austrian audience.
