Numbered places

French subtitle

Orlando is a man and a woman, lives in different eras as a writer, lover, and beloved. Virginia Woolf's Orlando travels weightlessly through different centuries, shows us different life plans and questions social roles.

Changes in the climate, manners, and literature are described precisely for each era. Orlando changes over time and yet always remains true to himself in his search for the meaning of life, the feeling of love, and the function of literature.

Orlando ultimately becomes a woman of the present who actively participates in today's social forms. The way into the future is wide open.

"Orlando" describes the career of a searching person who deals intensively with our existential questions and fears. Her path is a tightrope walk, always close to falling, but she always moves forward with light feet.
