'Unkovski's debut is an against-the-odds triumph.' |
Teenager Ahmet lives in a small village in North Macedonia with his father and brother, where he tends his flock of sheep and struggles to navigate the pressures of traditional values since his mother’s death. Madly in love with his neighbour, who is engaged to someone else, he turns to dance music to win her over and follow his dreams.
Featuring a talented young cast, Georgi M Unkovski’s Sundance-winning debut delivers a heart-warming and frequently hilarious portrait of youth and artistic liberation. |
