    • Synopsis
    • The Female Nomad shows the life of the Argentine philosopher and essayist Esther Diaz and transits the most relevant points of her philosophical work, linked to the parameters of sexuality and pleasure dominant within the patriarchal culture and the possibility of subverting these values from the Post-Porn perspective.

      From fragments of his daily activities, his home rituals, his congresses of philosophy and his sexual habits, the documentary builds a narrative which bends between the past, the present and the dream.

      Esther's life is marked by moments of great intensity and radical twists. Her voice initially tells the circumstances in which he attempted to commit suicide, the details of his tedious rehabilitation and the joy of reaching, after that break, the greatest dream of his life, to be a Doctor in Philosophy.

      After years without being able to establish a relationship, Esther turned to sexual unrest. His promiscuity and his professional career were triggered in parallel.

      Esther recalls that she lived a life divided between formality and transgression. Her children grew up in the midst of the maelstrom, trying to mold themselves into a multi-faceted, unconventional mother.

      The documentary captures how all these dimensions coexist in Esther's life. The narrative helps us to reframe its actuality and its way of being, while showing how philosophy goes through the life of Esther and determines the way in which she feels and understands the environment that surrounds her.
