Grounded (Between Borders)

Grounded (Between Borders) (2026) is a drama, war film directed by Ligia Ciornei.

When war erupts in Ukraine, three women from different worlds collide at the Romanian border: an Italian woman searching for her missing husband and unborn child, a Romanian mother fighting to save her daughter, and a young Ukrainian surrogate forced to choose between survival and motherhood. Blending documentary reality with fiction, the film explores resilience, sacrifice, and the fragile bonds that emerge in times of conflict.
