About This Program

Crossing is a drama programme that follows a straightforward premise: a retired teacher sets out on a personal quest. The series is presented as a film‑style narrative, and its genre is clearly defined as drama. It is listed simply as a programme rather than a series, and the title alone hints at the journey at its centre. The story centres on a former schoolteacher who travels to Istanbul in order to uncover the fate of her long‑lost niece. Her purpose is to discover what has become of the relative she has not seen for many years, and the plot revolves around her attempts to piece together the missing information while navigating a foreign city. The narrative is driven by her determination to resolve the lingering mystery surrounding her family connection. The production features Mzia Arabuli, Lucas Kankava and Deniz Dumanli in the leading roles. These three actors are credited as the primary cast, bringing the characters to life as the retired teacher’s search unfolds against the backdrop of Istanbul. Their involvement provides the human element that anchors the programme’s focus on the personal investigation and the emotional stakes of the reunion‑seeking journey.
