Lia, een gepensioneerde lerares uit Georgië, is vastberaden om haar lang verloren transgender nichtje Tekla terug te vinden. Wanneer ze van haar twintigjarige buurjongen verneemt dat Tekla naar Turkije is vertrokken, reist ze naar Istanbul en neemt ze de brutale Achi met zich mee. In de levendige stad maken ze nieuwe contacten en zien ze een wereld vol mogelijkheden. Maar hoe vind je iemand die misschien niet gevonden wil worden? Wanneer ze Evrim ontmoeten, een advocaat voor transrechten, lijkt dat hun zoektocht te helpen. Terwijl Lia en Achi zich een weg banen door de steegjes van Istanbul, begint Tekla dichterbij te voelen dan ooit.
Nee, helaas is Crossing Istanbul nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
