Documentary about the creation of the stage musical "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" and its subsequent film adaptation.

Raised a boy in East Berlin, Hedwig undergoes a personal transformation in order to emigrate to the U.S., where she reinvents herself as an “internationally ignored” but divinely talented rock diva, inhabiting a “beautiful gender of one.”

Prematurely deceased people are given the opportunity to correct something that went wrong in their lives and thus change them for the better.
