Orlando

The English aristocrat, poet and favorite of Queen Elizabeth I, receives an unusual order from the monarchine: never grow old. Thus begins Orlando's (Tilda Swinton) four-century journey through courtly intrigue, diplomatic expeditions, literary salons and wars—a journey in which the protagonist wakes up one morning as a woman without asking why, and lives on, loved and betrayed, fighting for the right to her own property in a world that denies women it.
