Captioned
A retired Georgian woman travels to Istanbul in search of her long-lost niece, where she meets a trans activist lawyer, in Levan Akin's identity drama.
From acclaimed director Levan Akin (And Then We Danced), comes this story about identity and family.
Lia, a retired school teacher living in Georgia, hears from her neighbour Achi that her transgender niece Tekla, has moved to 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. Humanistic and compassionate, Akin’s third feature is a heartfelt portrayal of overcoming the degrees of separation that divide us.
Starring Mzia Arabuli, Lucas Kankava and Deniz Dumanli.
