Un muchacho del Frente Patriótico Manuel Rodríguez que va a participar en la acción, vive una relación sentimental con un homosexual, que lo apoya, sin saber-sabiéndolo, en sus planes políticos. Éstos fracasan y la ligazón se frustra.

Meet Orlando: a young nobleman in Elizabethan England, poet, lover, adventurer—and, after a transformational sleep, a woman.

Playful, profound, and radically ahead of its time, Virginia Woolf's groundbreaking novel is part love letter, part satire, and part meditation on the fluid nature of existence.
