Like many 15-year-old boys, Ahmet dreams of something more. Living in a remote village in North Macedonia, he is tasked with tending the family flock while his father seeks treatment for his five-year-old younger brother, Naim, who has not spoken since their mother’s death. Ahmet finds refuge in music and asks his brother for help to impress Aya, the girl he has fallen for, who is already promised to someone else. DJ Ahmet portrays the clash between tradition and modernity in an ode to the power of music.
