Hedwig, born a boy named Hansel in East Berlin, fell in love with an American GI and underwent a sex-change operation in order to marry him and flee to the West: unfortunately nothing worked out quite as it was supposed to. Hedwig met Yitzhak (Miriam Shor) performing as a drag artist in Croatia and Yitzhak is now a member of Hedwig’s band.
Mary Monteforte was the key makeup artist on this movie.
