In the play Ideal, Ayn Rand unpacked her philosophical system of Objectivism, with its stubborn individualism and anti-altruism. As a critical counter, Gonda addresses cinematic and linguistic space by creating settings in which image, text and sound shift roles to affect presupposed ideals of identity and existence. Main actor is Dutch transgender model Valentijn de Hingh.
