Orlando - or a little history of the middle class
By its definition of being "neither poor nor rich", the middle class seems to have always had an identity problem. The essay film "Orlando or a short history of the middle class" is based on a text written by Daniela Dröscher, inspired by Virginia Woolf's dazzling novel heroine Orlando, a character who experiences both social decline and advancement over three centuries and changes gender in between. The film follows Orlando and tells the story of the middle class from a female perspective.
