DJ Ahmet

When fifteen-year-old Ahmet, a shepherd's son from a village in North Macedonia, accidentally stumbles upon an illegal nightly rave, a world opens up for him. With a tractor as a boombox, he then creates his own dance floor. Through music and dance, Ahmet seeks a way out of his extremely conservative environment and experiences his first love with a girl who is already promised to another. But his father is more worried about the sheep that Ahmet lost during his adventure. Does the story of a young music fan who is considered a troublemaker in his conservative village sound familiar? Georgi M. Unkovski’s debut seems to eagerly draw inspiration from the teen hit Footloose , but the director effortlessly guides DJ Ahmet into the 21st century thanks to his cultural sensitivity, charm, and humor.
