Fifteen-year-old Ahmet lives in a remote village in northern Macedonia, caught between a strict father, a flock of sheep, and a conservative community. Pulled out of school by his father to become the family’s shepherd, his days seem predetermined. But at night, with headphones on and imagination running wild, another world pulses within him – a world of beats, parties, and dreams. Ahmet longs to be a DJ, to break free from the path laid out for him. When a surprising first love enters his life, he faces a dilemma: surrender to the expectations around him, or choose his own way. Winner of the Audience Award and the Special Jury Award at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival.
