“Featuring radiant performances from the three leads, culminating in an astonishing monologue delivered by Mzia Arabuli, Crossing is a poetic look at the transformative power of encounters and one I cannot wait to revisit.”

This week's Hyde Park Pick: Crossing
The Reason I Jump
Lia, an irascible retired teacher from Georgia, learns from her young neighbour, Achi, that her transgender niece, Tekla, has crossed the border into Turkey. In search of Tekla, Lia travels to Istanbul with the unpredictable and perennially hungry Achi, where, making an unlikely partnership, they explore the hidden depths of the city.
Premiering in the Panorama strand at this year’s Berlin International Film Festival, Crossing is an engrossing mystery that's as captivating as it is compassionate.
