Program Note
Ahmet, a 15-year-old shepherd living in the remote farming village of Yuruk in North Macedonia. He tends a flock of sheep on a family-run farm but finds his greatest excitement in EDM music. One night, Ahmet leaves the farm for an electronic music party, where he sees Aya, a beautiful girl from the neighboring village, and witnesses a flock of sheep escaping the farm crashing into the party. This chaotic event quickly turns his reality upside down. His patriarchal father, mourning his wife¡¯s death, enforces strict rules forbidding music, but the power of music will carry them to different inner worlds and places. (Kim Byeonggyu)
