Trailer & Synopsis
Ahmet and his brother Naim are growing up in a family scarred by grief in a remote village, conservative as it is superstitious. The boys' stern father has no qualms forcing Ahmet to work on the family sheep farm rather than let him go to school, whilst he takes his little brother Naim, silent since his mother's death, to a suspect healer. Into this grim reality enters the beautiful Aya, who has returned from Germany in order to enter an arranged marriage. When Ahmet discovers a secret rave he is immediately transfixed by the music, and by Aya, and sees a path to a more joyous and free life. Says director Georgi M. Unkovski: "I wanted to explore the delicate balance between tradition and self-expression, particularly within a small, close-knit community The film delves into the challenges of growing up in a traditional setting while simultaneously discovering one's own identity. I was fascinated by the tension that arises when individual desires clash with the expectations of the collective." With a mostly non-professional cast, Unkovski has made an authentic, jubilant feature debut about art's liberating power.
DJ Ahmet is showing in cinemas since November 01, 2025 to August 17, 2026
