Ein himmlischer Freund
6.2
The angel John, who has fallen out of favor in heaven, has to earn his wings back in Tyrol by Christmas - and that's in four days! That's when he meets the doctor Gabriela and her paralyzed son Julian... Christmas Eve is coming up, and Johannes Engel doesn't have much time to celebrate a good day that will take him back to heaven. After some highly unpleasant encounters, Engel is taken in by doctor Gabriela Kaiser and her son Julian, who has been in a wheelchair since a tragic accident. When Engel is taken into custody and put in a straitjacket, his hopes of a timely return and Julian's chance of a new life fade...
