His life is turned upside down when an Angel with a broken wing (Emmanuelle Béart) crash lands into his swimming pool.

Angelic Beauty: Well, she is played by Emmanuelle Béart. It helps that the Soft Focus gives the Angel “a heavenly glow”.

Secretly Dying: Jim is taking insane amounts of aspirin during the film. At the end we learn that he was dying from a brain tumor. That’s why the Angel came for him; to escort him to the afterlife.

Innocent Fanservice Girl: As the Angel is bathing naked in a forest lake (albeit with her body covered by her Godiva Hair, as well as it being obscured by the mist), she’s completely unaware that Jim is watching her from behind the bushes.

The Peeping Tom: When Jim parts the bushes, he immediately closes them after he’s shocked by what he saw. However, he gets curious and parts the bushes again, where he sees the Angel bathing naked in a forest lake, and he stares at her in awe.

Beware the Nice Ones: The Angel might look and act innocent, but if anyone tries to hurt Jim, she’s not afraid to unleash her wrath on them. Not only does the Angel use the power of Invisibility to throw Patty on the ground and then literally kick Patty’s butt but she also forces rain clouds to remain above the heads of Patty and her father wherever they go.
