Ahmet, a 15 year old boy from a remote Yuruk village in North Macedonia, finds refuge in music while navigating his father’s expectations, a conservative community, and his first experience with love, a girl already promised to someone else.

ಉತ್ತರ ಮ್ಯಾಸಿಡೋನಿಯಾದ ದೂರದ ಯುರೂಕ್ ಹಳ್ಳಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ವಾಸಿಸುವ 15 ವರ್ಷದ ಹುಡುಗ ಅಹ್ಮೆತ್, ತನ್ನ ತಂದೆಯ ನಿರೀಕ್ಷೆಗಳು, ಸಂಪ್ರದಾಯಬದ್ಧ ಸಮುದಾಯದ ಒತ್ತಡಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಈಗಾಗಲೇ ಮತ್ತೊಬ್ಬರಿಗೆ ಮನಸ್ಸು ಕೊಟ್ಟಿರುವ ಹುಡುಗಿಯೊಂದಿಗಿನ ತನ್ನ ಮೊದಲ ಪ್ರೇಮಾನುಭವ — ಇವುಗಳ ನಡುವೆ ದಾರಿಹುಡುಕುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಈ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಗೊಂದಲಗಳ ನಡುವೆ, ಅವನು ಸಂಗೀತದಲ್ಲಿ ತನ್ನನ್ನು ತಾನು ಕಂಡುಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಾನೆ.

Georgi M. Unkovski (b. 1988) is a Macedonian writer‑director born in New York, moves between cultures as easily as he moves between art forms. Educated in Fine Arts at Rochester Institute of Technology’s Eastman School of Photography and later at FAMU in Prague, he brings a photographer’s eye and a cinephile’s curiosity to his work. Now based in Skopje, he directs commercials and nurtures films through Cinema Futura, gradually building a body of work that peaks, so far, with the award‑laden short STICKER (2019). DJ AHMET is his debut feature film.
