The next installment of our ReelTalk: Foreign Films features Crossing, the moving and tender tale of identity, acceptance and unlikely connection from acclaimed director Levan Akin (And Then We Danced).

About the film: Lia, a retired schoolteacher living in Georgia, hears from a young neighbour Achi that her long-lost niece Tekla, a transgender woman, has crossed the border into Turkey. Hoping to bring Tekla home after a period of estrangement, Lia travels to Istanbul with the unpredictable Achi to find her. Exploring the hidden depths of the city, they cross paths with a transgender lawyer called Evrim, who helps them in their search.
