Meet Ahmet, a teenager from an isolated farming community in the North Macedonian mountains who’s been forced to leave school to look after the family sheep. Ahmet worships his neighbour Aya like a goddess; she has lived in Germany but is back to be married off to an older man in the village. Ahmet is bashful and adorable; Aya is worldly-wise. To help Aya practise her dance routines, Ahmet turns DJ, pimping his tractor with speakers.
This totally charming coming-of-age movie makes serious points but does so with kindness and a mostly sunny worldview - authentic, warm and moving.
NOTE - This film contains several sequences with flashing lights that may affect those who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy or have other photosensitivities.
Mae Ahmet, bachgen 15 oed o bentref anghysbell yn Yörük yng Ngogledd Macedonia, yn dod o hyd i loches mewn cerddoriaeth wrth iddo lywio disgwyliadau ei dad, cymuned geidwadol, a’i brofiad cyntaf o gariad, gyda merch a addawyd eisoes i rywun arall. Enillydd Gwobr Cynulleidfa Ddramatig Sinema’r Byd Sundance 2025 a Gwobr Arbennig y Rheithgor am Weledigaeth Greadigol.
