In a remote Yörük village in North Macedonia, 15-year-old Ahmet is caught between duty and desire. At home, his father’s expectations loom large; beyond it, a conservative community sets clear limits on who he can be. But through music, Ahmet finds a sense of freedom – and a voice of his own. As he experiences first love with a girl already promised to another, his world begins to shift in unexpected ways.

Warm, funny and full of energy, DJ Ahmet is an uplifting coming-of-age story that celebrates resilience, self-expression and the transformative power of music. Set against the striking landscapes of rural North Macedonia, the film captures a rarely seen community with warmth and authenticity. Winner of the Sundance World Cinema Dramatic Audience Award, it’s a vibrant crowd-pleaser with a distinctive cultural voice.
