Mistakes of Heaven is a poetic/expressionistic film, which shows a man's progress upward from one stage of hell to the next. It is an experimentally expressed narrative - told in images and movement - of a man tangled in dreams and ambitions which are at once uplifting, mystifying and humbling. Mistakes of Heaven is a humanistic vision of a man who discovers his empathy for others and thus gains some ascent from his own misery.
