Bruce Chatwin was “the Internet before the Internet existed”. Few were as capable as he was of finding the most secret connections between countries, peoples and cultures. This is how Werner Herzog remembers the writer, with whom he shared the pleasure, perhaps even the need, to explore the world on foot, investigating its physical and emotional geography. Thirty years after the death of Chatwin, the German director retraces his steps, which often coincided with his own, and rediscovers his paths through the soul of the world, using his notebooks as a guide. Wearing the inseparable leather rucksack that his friend left him before he passed away, he takes us on a long “walk” through memories, which becomes a comparison between two poetic nomad worlds, convinced of the magnetic and vital power of the journey. Nomad is the moving story of a friendship, in which Herzog offers a revealing picture of himself and passion for film.
