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.
