Synopsis

Petra Going is a young Greek-Mexican woman on a mission to record moments of belonging, nostalgia and displacement in the modern metropolis. Petra operates as an agent for the Global Nomad Project, an international underground agency which sends hundreds of "receivers" like herself across the globe to record their experiences with their eye-lenses. Slapstick acts, obsessive games, aggressive tangos, swimming lessons, martial arts workshops erupt spontaneously in her hotel room, only to be dissolved the following morning, when Petra hits the road again.
