A retired Georgian teacher sets out to reunite with her estranged trans niece in And Then We Danced director Levah Akin’s Crossing, a bright, warm and novelistic new drama and winner of the Teddy Award Jury Prize for LGBTQ-themed films at the Berlin Film Festival.

Retired teacher Lia (Mzia Arabuli) promised her dying sister that she would seek out her long-lost daughter Tekla. With cocky young Achi (Lucas Kankava) as her guide, she sets off for Turkey to find Tekla in Istanbul’s trans community. But locating someone who doesn’t want to be found is hard. Can Evrim (Deniz Dumanlı), a street-smart lawyer fighting for trans rights, help them?
