In this endearing, coming-of-age comedy-drama, 15-year-old Ahmet, a shepherd in rural North Macedonia, escapes conservative traditions and parental expectations through electronic music. The film follows Ahmet’s quest to win over his crush, Aya, by DJ-ing at a village festival.

An unforgettable ensemble, laugh-out-loud comedy VARIETY

JULIA RECOMMENDS Heartwarming but never saccharine, a story that feels universal because it acknowledges that everyone was young and yearning once.
