It’s easy to take the internet for granted, if you live somewhere where it’s all around you, where you can be pretty much permanently connected. But that’s not the case for everyone around the world.

This Turkish film follows a young man, living in the middle of nowhere, who has a passion for music, but his internet connection is limited, with streaming and downloading restrictions, so looks for his musical fix elsewhere.

Working on a remote farm for his strict father (Aksel Mehmet) in Macedonia is Ahmet (Arif Jakup). He lives there with his younger brother Naim (Agush Agushev), who is currently mute, possibly through the trauma of them losing their mother. So Ahmet looks after him, and the 20 sheep they have.

One night he wanders into a festival in the woods, where he catches the gaze of Aya (Dora Akan Zlatanova), who is also enjoying the music, but their introduction to one another is interrupted by his 20 sheep, who seemingly broke out and followed him there, causing him to leave in a hurry and get them all home.

It’s not the last time that he and Aya meet up, as a relationship develops, but it’s problematic, as she is promised to another man in an arranged marriage.

George M. Unkovski’s directorial debut is brimming with charm as it follows a budding young love story.

The Turkish director highlights the conventions of the rural community, and this generation’s keenness to embrace modern life, that many can find on the internet – apparently, and the clash between them.

It’s a conventional tale of love in conflict, in a Romeo and Juliet kind of way, where a young couple face challenges from their conventional community, who frown upon their desire for one another.

Unkovski gets some real warmth from his cast, especially the two who play brothers Ahmet and Naim, whose mother’s death still hangs heavy over them. They are very natural, which may be reflected by the fact that it was their screen acting debuts, including Zlatanova, with the director perfectly capturing the rawness and genuineness of their performances. And that’s including the sheep.

A remarkable debut then, for all concerned, for a film with a wonderfully lyrical rhythm that simply rocks.
