After jointly winning a local drag queen pageant in New York City, Noxeema Jackson and Vida Boheme win the right and are given the round trip airfare to compete in the Drag Queen of America pageant in Hollywood, California. Noxeema sees herself as the next Dorothy Dandridge, who bucked the trend of most black American movie actresses of her time by never playing the slave house maid. Vida's style reflects her past of growing up in upper class suburban Pennsylvania. One of their fellow New York contestants, Chi-Chi Rodriguez, is a straight-talking but naive and inexperienced drag queen. Seeing that Chi-Chi needs some drag queen confidence (despite her bravada), Vida and a reluctant Noxeema decide to cash in their plane tickets and buy an older model Cadillac convertible and drive to Hollywood with Chi-Chi. Their drive takes them through much of the country where alternate lifestyles are less tolerated than they may be in New York or Los Angeles. The three have an extended stay in small town Snydersville, where their car breaks down. If they ever make it out of Snydersville, they may be the better for their stay by learning more about themselves while dealing with the issues of town residents and spending more time together. Their stay is made even more precarious when they find out that Sheriff Dollard, a homophobic, racist and sexist highway sheriff with who they had an earlier encounter, is on their tail.

The idyllic Lake Constance country side: The small, picturesque harbor towns inbetween fruit plantations. A house in the country with a view on the lake and mom in the garden. Paradise on earth. This is where Janosch lives; a 17-year-old serious lad, expected to graduate from school soon. But he hates his life at the lake. Therefore he is almost relieved to be kicked out of school. Reason enough to finally go his own way, part from mom, his girlfriend and his all too planned-out life. But where to go? Perhaps to Koma, and old school mate living in Dortmund. Koma packs boxes at a brewery, has an apartment, a pretty girlfriend and soon-to-arrive off-springs. And he is a clever skinhead, neither right-winged nor left-winged, just "100% pure skinhead". He is tall, strong, good at kickboxing,too. A hero - Janosch is fascinated. And Koma likes Janosch. Finally he has found someone to hang out with and who admires him. Koma longs to be admired. So Janosch moves in with Koma, works at the brewery like Koma, has a girlfriend like Koma and becomes a skinhead like Koma. From now on Janosch is admitted to Koma's "fortress", an old machine building located in a closed-down quarry. Here the skinhead brags with explosives because "you gotta be able to defend yourself". Despite Janosch or perhaps because of Janosch - Koma is still dicontented, most of the time with hisself, at times with his pregnat girlfriend, always with others, who ruin his life. Then he beats them up. And he is good at it. But sometimes he gets the wrong guy. For example, the young punk at the gravel pit. And Janosch helps his pal, kicks until the punk spits blood. As a reward he is allowed to get a tattoo just like Koma. At the tattoo parlor he notices Zottel. He is a totally different type,. Filthy, stoned, free spirited - but proud of it. He drives a motorcycle and Janosch is still stuck with his Lambretta, so they've got to chat about Koma's "fortress" in the quarry burns down. He's sure he knows who "did it" - those friends from the punk at the gravel pit. If he finds them, he'll "finish them off". And Janosch obediently vows revenge as well. At a rich classmate's birthday party Janosch bumps into Zottel again. Revealing him as a member of fire-eater group. "I wanna learn fire-eating", says Janosch, leaves his secure home behind and pays a visit to Zottel at the trailer camp. Koma knows who "did it", who burned down his "fortress". Wishful thinking and a little hint melt together, it was Zottel. It had to be him, Janosch slept with him and Koma has turned into a jealous and voluntary witness. "Now you can make good of your promise!" A rude awakening for Janosch. He hangs out at Komaís favourite bar, half-drunk. Koma gives him the answer. They drive to the trailer camp. He expects Janosch to break Zottelís face or in Komaís words "side walk bashing". Janosch can't do it. Too late: Koma starts kicking.But Janosch still has one choice.

A Greek saying states that only women who have washed their eyes with tears can see clearly. This saying does not hold true for Manuela. The night a car ran over her son Esteban, Manuela cried until her eyes ran completely dry. Far from seeing clearly, the present and the future become mixed up in darkness. That same night, while waiting in the hospital, she reads the last lines written by her son in a notebook that he always kept by his side. "This morning I looked through my mother’s bedroom until I found a stack of photographs. All of them were cut in half. My father, I suppose. I have the impression that my life is missing that same half. I want to meet him, I don’t care who he is, or how he treated my mother. No one can take that right away from me." Cecilia Roth as Manuela and Eloy Azorin as EstebanShe never told Esteban who he was, "your father died long before you were born" was all she ever told him. In memory of her son, Manuela leaves Madrid and goes to Barcelona in search of his father. She wants to tell him that their son's last written words were directed to him, even though he never knew his father. But first she has to tell him that, when she abandoned him eighteen years ago, she was pregnant, they had a son, and he has just died. She must also tell him that she named their son Esteban, like his biological father, before he changed his name to Lola. Lola the Pioneer. Manuela goes to Barcelona in search of Lola, her son’s father. The search for a man with that name cannot be simple. And indeed it isn’t.
