NOMAD is a science fiction 3D animated short film that depicts the story of a tribe, followers of Shamanism, migrating with a giant urban device in the distant future. The tribe names this massive flying city "kukulkan," which can detect the environmental information of the tribe's habitat. When it deems the human production activities detrimental to the area's natural environment, it communicates with the tribe's female shaman through a series of pictorial languages—tattoos. The tattoos on the shaman's body start to change, signaling to the people to prepare for migration to a new dwelling place; she also prepares the golden wine to bless the journey. Upon receiving the signal, the tribe's members board their small living units, "cubes," flying to kukulkan. Together, they wander in the wind with kukulkan, until they find the next place where humans and nature can coexist...
