At Ellen's Age

Drama about Ellen, an air stewardess seeking meaning to what she realizes. Ellen seeks a place to belong and finds it in a group of young activists of animal protection. Ellen must come to face some new turns in life. Although her job as a flight attendant keeps her rotating around the globe, she finds her private life has become a placebo, lending the sensation of security she needs so badly. She even suffers a panic attack whilst on duty, causing her to disembark and abandon an airplane that is preparing to start. As she crosses the airfield, she knows instinctively that she is leaving her old life behind.
