| | Storyline: | | Adapted from the critically acclaimed off-Broadway rock theatre hit, "Hedwig And The Angry Inch." Tells the story of Hedwig, an "internationally ignored" rock and roll songstress hailing from Communist East Germany. Born a boy named Hansel whose life's dream is to find his other half, Hedwig reluctantly submits to a sex change operation in order to marry an American GI and get over the Wall to freedom. The operation is botched, leaving her with the aforementioned "angry inch." Finding herself high, dry and divorced in a Kansas trailer park, she pushes on to form a rock band and encounters a lover/protege in young Tommy Gnosis, who eventually leaves her, steals her songs and becomes a huge rock star. A bitter yet witty Hedwig trails Tommy's stadium tour with her pan-Slavic band, The Angry Inch. Through a collage of songs, flashbacks and animation, Hedwig tells her story to bewildered diners on a tour hosted by a chain of bankrupt seafood restaurants. Somewhere between the crab cakes and the cramped motel rooms, between the anguish and the acid-wash she pursures her dreams and discovers the origin of love. |
