Ahmet is a 15-year-old boy in a remote Yuruk village in North Macedonia, caught between tradition and his passion for music. As he navigates his father’s expectations and a conservative community, Ahmet dreams of becoming a DJ. He is watching over his younger brother, who is having difficulty dealing with the loss of their mother.  When Ahmet falls for Aya, who’s already promised to another, his desires force him to rebel against his community for love.
