The young Swiss director Gaël Métroz takes the road alone, without a team, camera in hand, in the footsteps of the author Nicolas Bouvier. He discovers that the East is no longer the almost carefree land recounted by the writer in the Fifties in his book “L’Usage du Monde”: Iran in crises, Pakistan troubled by tribal violence, Talibans, civil war in Sri Lanka. The director decides to leave the main roads traced by the famous Topolino and continues with the nomads. Following his own road on the map of chance, Gaël Métroz reveals the writers philosophy of travel.
Since 2004, Gaël Métroz travels around the world in order to give travel time to express himself. “The only luxury of time” is a way for him to enter into the intimacy of neglected tribes and to share their confidences. “Nomad’s Land – in the footsteps of Nicolas Bouvier” is his first feature film.
Open to all.
