En 1956, le Docteur Paskowitz avait tout réussi : médecin renommé, sportif accompli, il faisait même ses débuts dans la politique locale à Hawaï. Bref, c'était le parfait exemple du rêve américain. Ou du moins le croyait-il, jusqu'à LA révélation...

The film follows the trials and tribulations of Eddie and other transvestites in Tokyo. The title is a pun, "rose"/"Bara" in Japanese is similar to the use of the word "pansy" in American slang.

Le documentaire suit l’artiste Friedensreich Hundertwasser et présente sa manière de travailler, ses partis pris artistiques et ses convictions personnelles. Au début du film, Hundertwasser est étendu sur un bloc de glace, près de son moulin dans la région de Waldviertel, à Vienne. De l’eau coule sous la glace et Hundertwasser confie être fasciné par cet élément de la nature. Il s’est d’ailleurs acheté un bateau trois années auparavant et l’a baptisé Regentag. Son souhait est de se retirer sur l’eau à bord de ce bateau.
