Nomads

SYNOPSIS:

Are the new nomads resourceful utopians or the good students of hyper-mobile neo-liberalism? The answer probably lies somewhere between these two extremes. By changing their world because they’ve given up on changing the world, these new nomads are radical pragmatists who show us, perhaps, one of the faces of our future, which is likely to be unstable, unpredictable, volatile and therefore, mobile.

The term “nomad” has often been associated with prehistoric man and his way of life, utterly different from our own sedentary one. Yet it’s impossible to ignore the fact that it’s becoming widely popular with a whole new generation in search of adventure and freedom. Alongside the development of social networks, in a life that seems to be flying by so fast, more and more people are deciding to live the life of a nomadic traveller. Whether in a van or an airplane, they all share the same goal: to escape a daily routine that no longer satisfies them, and to finally give meaning to their lives. But can we really speak of a long-term lifestyle, or is it simply a generational phenomenon? Let’s meet these young French people who have embarked on a fabulous adventure against all odds, and discover their daily lives.
