This musical rock opera tells the story of Hedwig (John Cameron Mitchell), a transgender woman from East Berlin who embarks on a musical tour across the United States with her band, "The Angry Inch." Hedwig’s journey is both literal and emotional, as she reflects on her past, including her troubled childhood, a botched sex-change operation, and her search for her missing soulmate. The film’s original songs, especially the anthem "The Origin of Love," address themes of identity, love, and self-acceptance. Hedwig became a cult sensation for its bold exploration of gender identity, rock-and-roll aesthetics, and the emotional power of its music.
