About the film
Lia, a retired, unmarried history teacher and a person of dignity and high standards for herself and others. She is now on a mission to find her missing niece, a trans woman called Tekla who has crossed the border into Turkey and may now be in Istanbul; Lia promised Tekla’s dying mother she would find Tekla and bring her home. Lia gets a tip about her address from the layabout younger brother of one of her old pupils; this is Achi (Lucas Kankava), a goofy, gormless guy who looks like a young Keith Moon. Achi begs Lia to let him come with her on this exciting trip to the big city and this tense, odd couple finally fetch up in Istanbul.
