The film is rooted in the Orlando figure of Virginia Woolf's novel, the human being who could not only change sex but who lived through centuries, thereby empowered to undergo all experiences humanly or socially possible,. Orlando, the protagonist constantly transforming herself in the changes wrought by the centuries, allows, in her own person, certain constant factors and similarities in our history to become visible.

It is a film according to the classification table, where the "x" axis and the "y" axis allow for basic coordination of objects within each column - but nothing more. Each column then represents a separate object, "connected" to others not by an internal relationship, but by mere correlation to the basic coordinates. The relation to the "x" axis could be a shift in time and to the "y" axis, the degree of nonsense. The problem is clear – the almost absolute discontinuity between individual objects/scenes, singular images and singular allegories, which is a problem because, for example, an allegory cannot be unique if it is to have a broader significance. In other words, if the thread is lost, all that remains is the panopticon. Ottinger also has a relative aversion to words as a means of communication, not only for the film characters but especially toward the viewer and therefore, trying to extract meaning from technically almost silent Dadaist situations and scenes requires a considerable amount of imagination. However, some scenes are worth it (although I do not know what exactly "it" is...) because you definitely do not see experimental feminist absurd avant-garde every day.
