Synopsis |
|
Hedwig was born a boy named Hansel
in Communist East Berlin who dreamed
of finding his other half and
becoming a big American rock star.
When a handsome American GI promises
love and liberation, it seems like a
dream come true. But there's a catch
-- in order to marry and emigrate
Hansel must "leave a little
something behind." Hedwig survives a
botched sex change operation that
leaves her with an "angry inch" only
to be stranded in a Kansas trailer
park the very day the Berlin Wall
comes down. Undeterred, Hedwig dons
immaculate makeup and a Farrah
Fawcett wig and forms a rock
band-The Angry Inch. While
supporting herself with babysitting
gigs, she falls for a 16-year-old
Jesus freak she renames Tommy
Gnosis. Tommy steals her songs and
becomes the rock star Hedwig always
dreamed she'd be. Refusing to be
defeated, she fiercely performs in
crumbling theme restaurants seeking
recognition, retribution, and
reconciliation with her other half.
