Mel, a gender-variant factory worker, is ready to leave small-town Germany and finally see the world with brother Knut. When the plan goes awry, Mel's path leads to two hitchhikers, Jenny and Bianca, who believe Mel to be a handsome Portuguese man Miguel — sensitive but studly. Embracing the mutual attraction with spirited Jenny, Mel seizes the opportunity for reinvention, even studying language tapes and Iberian poetry to maintain the subterfuge.
