Shot in16 mm black-and-white by Müller, the movie exhibited many of Wenders's later trademark themes of aimless searching, running from invisible demons, and persistent wandering toward an indeterminate goal. Protagonist Hans (Zischler) is released from prison, and after searching through seedyWest German streets and bars, he visits an old friend in Berlin.[citation needed

The film premiered at the1984 Cannes Film Festival , where it won thePalme d'Or .

In 2009, Wenders signed a petition in support of directorRoman Polanski , who had been detained while traveling to a film festival in relation to his 1977sexual abuse charges , which the petition argued would undermine the tradition of film festivals as a place for works to be shown "freely and safely" and argued that arresting filmmakers traveling to neutral countries could open the door to "actions of which no-one can know the effects."[ 35] [ 36]
From 1979 to 1981, Wenders was married to the American actress and singer-songwriterRonee Blakley .
