Conservatism and generational tradition collide with the restless energy of youth in this heartwarming coming-of-age comedy.
Ahmet, a 15-year-old boy in rural North Macedonia, struggles to balance school and his ambitions with traditional values and his father’s expectations following his mother’s passing. Banished to sleep among the sheep to keep watch over the flock, he inadvertently lets one escape into the woods — sending him on an unexpected chase.
During the search, Ahmet stumbles upon a rave, opening his eyes to a world beyond the confines of village life. As he and his brother Naim turn to music as a form of escape, Ahmet grows closer to his love interest, Aya, who is also yearning to break free from her family’s expectations.
Shot on location and featuring many non-professional actors from local villages, the film carries an authenticity that enriches the tone of this tender and life-affirming story.
