Virginia Woolf’s “Orlando” tells the story of a young man who grows up to become a 36-year-old woman. Almost a century after its publication, Paul B. Preciado speaks to Virginia Woolf to tell her that her fictional character has become a reality. The transition of Orlando’s body now lies at the root of all non-binary bodies and there are Orlandos all over the world. Through the authentic voices of other young bodies undergoing metamorphosis, Preciado retraces the stages of his personal transformation through a poetic journey in which life, writing, theory and image merge freely in the search for truth. Every Orlando, he says, is a transgender person who is risking his, her or their life on a daily basis as they find themselves forced to confront government laws, history and psychiatry, as well as traditional notions of the family and the power of multinational pharmaceutical companies.

Two actresses, Béatrice Dalle and Charlotte Gainsbourg, are on a film set telling stories about witches.

A young couple in New York locks themselves into a kind of childlike romantic fantasy, with the city as their playground. When reality begins slipping inside their world, the relationship begins to sour, until it collapses under its own weight. For the remainder of the film, the young man attempts to recreate this type of codependent fantasy existence with whomever he can, with increasingly perverse & disturbing results. In a search for love & happiness, he finds only sickness & destruction.

Paul, a teenager in the underground scene of early-nineties Paris, forms a DJ collective with his friends and together they plunge into the nightlife of sex, drugs, and endless music.
