Heartwarming road movie from Levan Akin (And Then We Danced) about identity, acceptance and unexpected friendships that transcend boundaries.

Lia, a retired teacher from Georgia, is determined to find her long-lost transgender niece, Tekla. When she learns from her twenty-year-old neighbor that Tekla has moved to Turkey, she travels to Istanbul and brings along the audacious Achi.

In the vibrant city, they make new connections and discover a world full of possibilities. But how do you find someone who may not want to be found? When they meet Evrim, a trans rights lawyer, it seems to aid their search. As Lia and Achi navigate the alleyways of Istanbul, Tekla begins to feel closer than ever.
