The film tells the story of Hansel Schmidt, growing up in a dysfunctional family in East Germany and dreams of becoming a rock star. As searching for a way out, Hansel meets and falls in love with an American soldier named Luther. To legally marry and move to the United States, Hansel’s fiancé and mother force them to undergo gender reassignment surgery, becoming Hedwig. While trying to find their sexual identity, Hedwig discovers the art of drag as a means of survival and ultimately undergoes another transformation, accepting themself as they are.

In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
