In 1928, Virginia Woolf wrote "Orlando", the first novel in which the main character changes sex in the middle of the story. A century later, trans writer and activist Paul B. Preciado decides to send a film letter to Virginia Woolf: her Orlando has emerged from her fiction and is living a life she could have never imagined. Preciado organises a casting and gathers 26 contemporary trans and non-binary people, aged from 8 to 70, who embody Orlando. Winner of the Teddy Award and the Encounters Special Jury Award at the 2023 Berlinale.
