Crossing

Retired Georgian teacher Lia is on a mission to find her long-lost niece, a trans woman called Tekla, who is rumoured to have moved to Istanbul and whom Lia promised her dying sister she would bring home.

Lia finds an unlikely companion in Achi, the hapless young son of one of her former pupils, who insists he has important information about Lia's niece's whereabouts and who is itching to leave home. Together, Lia and Achi set on their journey, crossing the border into Turkey and venturing into the big city in search of missing Tekla.
