City of Angels (1998)

What happens if an angel yearns for the most everyday mortal experiences: to taste a pear, to cry, to feel the touch of a hand... to fall in love? And what would an angel be willing to give up for those experiences? Conversely, what would make a rational mortal woman - a no-nonsense surgeon who firmly relies on her own earthly abilities- become drawn to a spiritual man whose very existence is almost impossible for her to accept? How would she have to change to understand him?

Two souls, one mortal and one celestial, must struggle with their willingness - and finally, their need -- to sacrifice everything familiar for the sake of love.
