“Roamers” presents the digital generation's quest for meaning and thus takes an up-close look into modern ways of life

“Roamers” tells of the digital generation's quest for meaning and thus takes an up-close look into modern ways of life. A celebrated Palestinian influencer from Israel who quit his lucrative job at PayPal in order to maximize life experience; a young Switzerland top manager who sacrifices both her job and marriage for the adventure of sailing around the world; an Argentinean couple who apply their computer science skills to distribute their self-produced porn online:

“Roamers” accompanies a wide variety of characters on their journeys all over the world and in different social media feeds. As "digital nomads", they're always on the hunt for the next perfect moment and thereby sound out the fault lines of a new era between personal freedom and dependence on followers; between the need for love and the fear of commitment; between utopia and disappointment. “Roamers” is a documentary that deals with their search for meaning and support in the new digital world of countless possibilities.
