Lia, a retired Georgian teacher, journeys with a young companion in hopes of reconnecting with her long-lost niece. Her search takes her to Istanbul, where she meets Evrim, a lawyer fighting for trans rights, and becomes embraced by the local trans community. Levan Akin follows up his extraordinarily successful feature debut And Then We Danced with a yet another moving portrait of queer lives. CROSSING is a tender intergenerational drama about atonement, acceptance, and human connection.
