MUBI, the global distributor, streaming service and production company, has released a new trailer and artwork for Levan Akin’s (And Then We Danced  Sweden’s 2019 Academy Award® entry) latest feature film, Crossing. A moving, compassionate tale of identity, acceptance and unlikely connection that transcends borders and generations. The movie is set to premiere in cinemas across the UK and Ireland on July 19.
PREMISE
Lia, a retired school teacher 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. Humanistic and tender, Akin’s third feature is a heartfelt portrayal of overcoming the degrees of separation that divide us.
