The first clip from Eimi Imanishi’s directorial debut “ Nomad Shadow ” has been released as the film prepares for its world premiere at the 50th Toronto Film Festival .
The drama follows a young woman’s difficult homecoming after being deported from Spain to Western Sahara, the territory she left years earlier. The protagonist faces rejection from both the cultural environment she tried to escape and the family members who remain bitter about her original departure. Her efforts to maintain her identity while navigating traditional expectations only deepen the rift with her past life.
