Crossing

Directed by Levan Akin

Lia, a retired teacher living in Georgia, made a promise to find out what happened to her long-lost niece Tekla. When Lia learns from Achi, a neighbor, that Tekla might be living in Turkey, they set off together to find her.

In Istanbul they discover a beautiful city full of connections and possibilities – but looking for someone who never intended to be found is harder than they thought. Until they meet Evrim, a lawyer fighting for trans rights. As Lia and Achi weave their way through the city’s backstreets, Tekla starts to feel closer than ever.
