"Hedwig and the Angry Inch" features the questionably transgender rock star Hedwig on a tour as he performs songs that tell his life story and express his struggle with his sexual identity. In the movie, Hedwig, played by Mitchell, confronts his insecurities as a self-described "girly boy" and his tense relationship with rock star Tommy Gnosis, his former protege and lover.
