A Georgian seaside village. Lia, who has made a career as a teacher, wants to find her missing niece Tekla. The sleazy neighbor boy Achi claims to know Tekla’s new address in Istanbul. The two cross the border and sail across the Bosphorus to the timeless and incredible Istanbul, where the truth has many faces. There is always someone to help you when the situation seems hopeless. Campaigning for trans rights, Evrim seems to know everyone, and everyone opens their doors to him. CROSSING is an ode to human dignity and the diversity of Istanbul.
