Evelyne needs to travel to London for her mother's funeral. At the airport, she can't find her newborn's papers, so she can't get on her flight. With the help of Stephanie, a young air hostess, Evelyne will fight the unbending rules of airport regulations and, perhaps, take off on time.
Evelyne has to fly to London unexpectedly for her mother’s funeral. But, as she is
about to embark, she can’t find her newborn baby’s ID... This is the beginning of a long day’s struggle, as grueling as it is absurd, with the unbending rules of bureaucracy. Then she comes across Stephanie, a young ground hostess, who’s used to obeying orders automatically. At the sight of this powerless young mother wrestling with bureaucracy, Stephanie discovers what means most to her: her humanity and her will to fight. “Grounded” tells the story of these two women whose paths just happen to cross, two destinies that converge. Above all, it's about their fight against the absurdity of the system.
