Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001)
Hedwig tourt mit ihrer Band durch die amerikanischen Lande und tritt vor mickrigem Publikum in Clubs und Restaurants auf. Mit im Gepäck die Songs, die ihr Ex-Lover ihr geklaut hat. Hedwig ist transsexuell und erzählt uns vom Suchen der Liebe, von ihrer Kindheit und Jugend, von ihren Träumen. Hedwig war früher nur ein armer schwuler Junge, der aus Ost-Berlin raus wollte. Da traf er den süßen amerikanischen GI (ein historisch wohl etwas unsinniges, aber aufgrund der sonst guten Story zu vernachlässigendes Detail) heiratet ihn und wandert in die USA aus. Das Problem: Voraussetzung war eine Geschlechtsumwandlung. Und was nach dem Pfusch vom Tage übrig blieb war ein "angry inch". Und so ist Hedwig weder wirklich Frau, noch ein ganzer Mann. Und auch kein ganzer Rockstar, weil Tommy Gnosis, ihr bereits erwähnter Ex, mit ihren Songs Karriere macht und ihr nur die schäbigen Lokale bleiben, um abzurocken. Doch das tut sie! Hedwig rocks!
