Synopsis

‘I’m sick to death of this particular self. I want another.’

In the sixteenth century, Orlando enjoys life as a nobleman – including a fleeting yet deep love affair with a Russian princess, and an eventful stint in Constantinople as an ambassador. However, one day, Orlando awakes as a woman. She relishes her new life, but everything has irrevocably changed.

Galloping through centuries and embarking on new life experiences, Orlando follows one person’s captivating journey about identity.
