A 15-year-old Yuruk boy from a remote Macedonian village escapes into music amidst parental expectations, societal conservatism, and forbidden love for a promised girl.

After losing his mother, Ahmet must find a way to navigate his father’s expectations, a conservative community, and his first experience with love – made all the more complicated by the fact that the girl in question is already promised to someone else. 

The film premiered globally in the World Cinema Competition at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, where it received the World Cinema Dramatic - Audience Awards and World Cinema Dramatic Special Jury Award for Creative Vision.
