Synopsis

[Part of 31st Singapore International Film Festival 2020]

Alongside a whole generation of middle-class, middle-aged Americans affected by the recession, Fern takes to the roads. Living in her van, she chases seasonal jobs as they come along, spending summers in desert communes. On her journey, Fern meets many other nomads. They enter Fern’s world, like short chapters in a story, each with a wealth of tales from their own travels. While this camaraderie gives her temporary respite, Fern’s heart lies in wandering. Her unwillingness to settle down propels her to move steadfastly onwards.

Chloé Zhao presents a tender antithesis to the American dream. Her sensitivity to transitory connections and instinctive empathy craft a deeply meaningful, circular tale of introspection.

NOMADLAND will be screening at Filmgarde Cineplexes Bugis+ on 28 November 2020.
